iv. $$4 \frac{1}{2}-3 \frac{1}{3}$$

Question 3.
Multiply the following rational numbers.
i. $$\frac{3}{11} \times \frac{2}{5}$$
ii. $$\frac{12}{5} \times \frac{4}{15}$$
iii. $$\frac{(-8)}{9} \times \frac{3}{4}$$
iv. $$\frac{0}{6} \times \frac{3}{4}$$
Solution:
i. $$\frac{3}{11} \times \frac{2}{5}$$
$$=\frac{3 \times 2}{11 \times 5}=\frac{6}{55}$$

ii. $$\frac{12}{5} \times \frac{4}{15}$$
$$=\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{4}{5}=\frac{4 \times 4}{5 \times 5}=\frac{16}{25}$$

iii. $$\frac{(-8)}{9} \times \frac{3}{4}$$
$$=\frac{(-2)}{3} \times \frac{1}{1}=\frac{-2}{3}$$

iv. $$\frac{0}{6} \times \frac{3}{4}$$
$$=0 \times \frac{3}{4}=0$$

vi. $$\frac{-5}{13} \div \frac{7}{26}$$
vii. $$\frac{9}{11} \div(-8)$$
viii. $$5 \div \frac{2}{5}$$
Solution:
i. $$\frac{40}{12} \div \frac{10}{4}$$
$$=\frac{40}{12} \times \frac{4}{10}=\frac{4}{3}$$

ii. $$\frac{-10}{11} \div \frac{-11}{10}$$
$$=\frac{-10}{11} \times \frac{-10}{11}=\frac{100}{121}$$

iii. $$\frac{-7}{8} \div \frac{-3}{6}$$
$$=\frac{-7}{8} \times \frac{-6}{3}=\frac{-7}{4} \times \frac{-3}{3}=\frac{7}{4}$$

iv. $$\frac{2}{3} \div(-4)$$
$$=\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{-1}{4}=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{-1}{2}=\frac{-1}{6}$$

v. $$2 \frac{1}{5} \div 5 \frac{3}{6}$$
$$=\frac{11}{5} \div \frac{33}{6}=\frac{11}{5} \times \frac{6}{33}=\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{6}{3}=\frac{2}{5}$$

vi. $$\frac{-5}{13} \div \frac{7}{26}$$
$$=\frac{-5}{13} \times \frac{26}{7}=\frac{-10}{7}$$

vii. $$\frac{9}{11} \div(-8)$$
$$=\frac{9}{11} \times \frac{-1}{8}=\frac{-9}{88}$$

viii. $$5 \div \frac{2}{5}$$
$$=\frac{5}{1} \times \frac{5}{2}=\frac{25}{2}$$
