NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 9 Rational Numbers Exercise 9.2
Question 1... Class 7 Maths Ex.9.2
Find the sum:
(i) 5/4 + (-11/4)
Explanation :
Given rational numbers are
⇒ 5/4 and -11/4
As we have same denominator in both the Rational Number
So, we just need to add the numerators
⇒ [5+ (-11)] /4
⇒ -6/4
Now, Divide both numerator and denominator by 2
Ans. -3/2
Write your Solution like this
Solution :

(ii) 5/3 + (3/5)
Explanation :
Given rational numbers are
⇒ 5/3 and 3/5
First we need to make both the denominator equal
for this, we need to find LCM
# LCM of 3 and 5 is 15
Now,
⇒ (5/3) = [(5×5)/ (3×5)] = (25/15)
⇒ (3/5) = [(3×3)/ (5×3)] = (9/15)
Then, add the numerators
