The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each statement (P, Q, R, S) and determine whether they are true (T) or false (F). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement P**: "A fraction is said to be in simplest form if its numerator and denominator have no common factor other than 1." - To determine if this statement is true, we recall the definition of a fraction in simplest form. A fraction is in simplest form when the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator is 1. This means they share no common factors other than 1. - **Conclusion**: This statement is true (T). 2. **Statement Q**: "5/9 is greater than 4/5." - To compare these two fractions, we can convert them to a common denominator or cross-multiply. - The denominators are 9 and 5. The least common multiple (LCM) of 9 and 5 is 45. - Convert both fractions: - \( \frac{5}{9} = \frac{5 \times 5}{9 \times 5} = \frac{25}{45} \) - \( \frac{4}{5} = \frac{4 \times 9}{5 \times 9} = \frac{36}{45} \) - Now we compare \( \frac{25}{45} \) and \( \frac{36}{45} \). Since 25 is less than 36, \( \frac{5}{9} < \frac{4}{5} \). - **Conclusion**: This statement is false (F). 3. **Statement R**: "Fractions can't be represented on the number line." - We know that fractions can be represented on the number line. For example, if we take the fraction \( \frac{1}{2} \), it can be marked exactly halfway between 0 and 1 on the number line. - **Conclusion**: This statement is false (F). 4. **Statement S**: "In the place value of decimals, as we go from left to right, the multiplying factor becomes \( \frac{1}{10} \) of the previous factor." - In decimal numbers, each digit to the right of the decimal point represents a value that is \( \frac{1}{10} \) of the value to its left. For example, in the decimal 65.4321: - 6 is in the tens place (10^1), - 5 is in the ones place (10^0), - 4 is in the tenths place (10^-1), - 3 is in the hundredths place (10^-2), and so on. - This confirms that the multiplying factor decreases by a factor of \( \frac{1}{10} \) as we move left to right. - **Conclusion**: This statement is true (T). ### Final Answers: - P: T - Q: F - R: F - S: T ### Summary: The answers are: - P: T - Q: F - R: F - S: T
