Maharashtra State Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Rational and Irrational Numbers Practice Set 1.1

Question 1.
Show the following numbers on a number line. Draw a separate number line for each example.
i. \(\frac{3}{2}, \frac{5}{2},-\frac{3}{2}\)
ii. \(\frac{7}{5}, \frac{-2}{5}, \frac{-4}{5}\)
iii. \(\frac{-5}{8}, \frac{11}{8}\)
iv. \(\frac{13}{10}, \frac{-17}{10}\)
Solution:
i. \(\frac{3}{2}, \frac{5}{2},-\frac{3}{2}\)

Here, the denominator of each fraction is 5.
∴ Each unit will be divided into 5 equal parts.

iii. \(\frac{-5}{8}, \frac{11}{8}\)
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Rational and Irrational Numbers Practice Set 1.1 3
Here, the denominator of each fraction is 8.
∴ Each unit will be divided into 8 equal parts.

iv. \(\frac{13}{10}, \frac{-17}{10}\)
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Rational and Irrational Numbers Practice Set 1.1 4
Here, the denominator of each fraction is 10.
∴ Each unit will be divided into 10 equal parts.

Question 2.

i. Which number is indicated by point B?
ii. Which point indicates the number \(1\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\) ?
iii. State whether the statement, ‘the point D denotes the number \(\frac { 5 }{ 2 }\) is true or false.
Solution:
Here, each emit is divided into 4 equal parts.
i. Point B is marked on the 10th equal part on the left side of O.
∴ The number indicated by point B is \(\frac { -10 }{ 4 }\).

ii.

Point C is marked on the 7th equal part on the right side of O.
∴ The number \(1\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\) is indicated by point C.

iii. True
Point D is marked on the 10th equal part on the right side of O.
∴ D denotes the number \(\frac{10}{4}=\frac{5 \times 2}{2 \times 2}=\frac{5}{2}\)
