Do `4/(-9) and 16/(-36)` represent the same rational number ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine if \( \frac{4}{-9} \) and \( \frac{16}{-36} \) represent the same rational number, we will simplify both fractions to their standard forms and compare them. ### Step 1: Simplify \( \frac{4}{-9} \) 1. The fraction \( \frac{4}{-9} \) can be rewritten as \( -\frac{4}{9} \) because the negative sign can be placed in the numerator. **Hint:** Remember that a negative sign can be in the numerator, denominator, or in front of the fraction. ...
