`(-3)/5, (-6)/10,(-9)/15, (-12)/20, ...`
Advertisements
Solution
The given rational numbers are `(-3)/5, (-6)/10,(-9)/15, (-12)/20, ...`
A closer look at the given rational numbers shows that the next rational number is formed by adding 3 to the numerator of the previous rational number and adding 5 to the denominator.
Hence, there are 4 other rational numbers of the same patterns.
`(-12 - 3)/(20 + 5) = (-15)/25`
And, `(-15 - 3)/(25 + 5) = (- 18)/30`
And, `(- 18 - 3)/(30 + 5) = (- 21)/35`
And, `(-21 - 3)/(35 + 5) = (-24)/40`
Hence, there are 4 more rational numbers of the given patterns
`(- 15)/25, (- 18)/30 , (- 21)/35 "and" (-24)/40...`
