Notes
Multiplication of Rational Number:
1) Multiplication of rational number with whole number:
Let us multiply the rational number `(- 3)/5 "by 2, i.e., we find" (- 3)/5 xx 2`.
On the number line, it will mean two jumps of `3/5` to the left.
We reach at `(- 6)/5`. Let us find it as we did in fractions.
`(- 3)/5 xx 2 = (- 3 xx 2)/5 = (- 6)/5`.
We arrive at the same rational number.
So, we find that while multiplying a rational number by a positive integer, we
multiply the numerator by that integer, keeping the denominator unchanged.
Let us now multiply a rational number by a negative integer,
`(- 2)/9 xx (- 5) = (-2 xx (- 5))/9 = 10/9`
2) Multiplication of two rational number:
We multiply two rational numbers in the following way:
Step 1: Multiply the numerators of the two rational numbers.
Step 2: Multiply the denominators of the two rational numbers.
Step 3: Write the product as the product of `"numerators"/"product of denominators"`.
`(-3)/5 xx 2/7 = (-3 xx 2)/(5 xx 7) = (-6)/35`.
`(-5)/8 xx (-9)/7 = (- 5 xx (-9))/(8 xx 7) = 45/56`.
Example
Multiply the following rational numbers.
`9/13 xx 4/7`
`9/13 xx 4/7 = (9 xx 4)/(13 xx 7) = 36/91`.
Example
Multiply the following rational numbers.
`3/5 xx (- 4)/5`
`3/5 xx (- 4)/5 = (3 xx (- 4))/(5 xx 5) = (- 12)/25`.
Example
Multiply the following rational numbers.
`9/13 xx 26/3`
`9/13 xx 26/3 = (3 xx 2)/1 = 6/1.`
