Show that the number is a rational number by finding a ratio of two integers in simplest form equal to that given number. (-1/3)
The number is a rational because it can be expressed as:
(Help I don't get what it's asking me 2 do)

Answer 1

can -1/3 be reduced?

Answer 2

that's in simpelst form

Answer 3

Can you un-reduce it, then?

What's another fraction equivalent to -1/3? (this may be what it's asking for)

Answer 4

then the two integers that make up the number are -1 and 3

Answer 5

or 1 and -3

Answer 6

Or state that it's rational, because it's in fractional form with two integers, and is simplest form.

Answer 7

1/3 * -1 ?

Answer 8

-1/9 * 3 ? can't really state anything much really because it's an online test

Answer 9

first off
read the rules, we are not here to take a test for you........

Answer 10

the questions asks you to give the fraction in lowest terms, and then tell what two integers
i.e. {....-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3...}
make up that fraction in lowest terms.

Answer 11

the question is a bad one, because two answers....
\[-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{-3}=\frac{-1}{3}\]
