-16/24 and 20/-16 represent ______ rational numbers.

Solution:

Given the numbers are -16/24 and20/-16.

We have to compare the numbers and fill in the blanks with the appropriate answer.

Considering 16/24,

16/24 = 4(4)/6(4)

Cancelling out common terms,

= 4/6

= 2/3

Now, -16/24 = -2/3 ------------------------------ (1)

Considering 20/16

20/16 = 4(5)/4(4)

Cancelling out common term,

= 5/4

Now, 20/-16 = 5/-4 ------------------------------- (2)

From (1) and (2),

-16/24 ≠ 20/-16.

Therefore, -16/24 and20/-16 represent different rational numbers.
