Write a rational number in which the numerator is less than ‘-7 × 11’ and the denominator is greater than ‘12 + 4’.

Solution:

Given, the numerator is less than ‘-7 × 11’ and the denominator is greater than ‘12 + 4’.

We have to write a rational number using the above condition.

-7 × 11 = -77

12 + 4 = 16

Given, numerator is less than -77 and the denominator is greater than 16

Let numerator be -78

Let the denominator be 17

A number that can be expressed in the form p/q , where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0, is called a rational number.

p/q = -78/17

Similarly, p/q = -79/18, -80/19, etc

Therefore, the rational number is -78/17
