Evaluate: 2 14/25 Xx ((-5)/16)

Evaluate: `2 14/25 xx ((-5)/16)`

Sum

`2 14/25 xx ((-5)/16)`

`= (2 xx 25 + 14)/25 xx ((-5)/16)`

`= 64/25 xx ((-5)/16)`

`= (64 xx (-5))/(25 xx 16) = (4 xx (-1))/(5 xx 1) = - 4/5`

Exercise 2 (D) | Q 1.6

Express the following rational numbers to the lowest terms: `14/-56`

Evaluate: `- 11/18 + (-3)/9 + 2/-3`

Subtract: `-2 "from" (-3)/10`

Evaluate: `(5/-27) xx ((-9)/20)`

Multiply: `6 2/3 "and" (-3)/8`

Multiply: `2 1/14 "and" -7`

The product of two numbers is 14. If one of the numbers is `(-8)/7`, find the other.

The product of two rational numbers is 24. If one of them is `- 36/11`, find the other.

By what rational number should we multiply `20/-9`, so that the product may be `(-5)/9`?

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