Chapter 2 Rational Numbers
Exercise 2 (C) | Q 1.3

Fill in the blank:

`5/8` and `-3/10` are on the ________ side of zero.

Evaluate: `(-2)/5 + 3/5 + (-1)/5`

Evaluate: `5/-24 + (- 1)/8 + 3/16`

Subtract: `(- 16)/21 "from" 1`

Multiply: `(-13)/15 "and" (-25)/26`

Multiply: `1 1/6 "and" 18`

By what number should `(-3)/8` be multiplied so that the product is `(-9)/16`?

By what number should `(-5)/7` be divided so that the result is `(-15)/28`?

Evaluate: `7/26 + 2 + (-11)/13`

The sum of two rational numbers is `(-3)/8`. If one of them is `3/16` find the other,
