The standard form of -48/60 is
(a) 48/60
(b) -60/48
(c) -4/5
(d) -4/-5

Solution:

Given, the number is -48/60

We have to find the standard form of -48/60.

We know that, to reduce the rational number to its standard form, we divide its numerator and denominator by their HCF

48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5

HCF of 48 and 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 = 12

Now, 48/12 = 4

60/12 = 5

So, -48/60 = -4/5

Therefore, the standard form is -4/5
