Rewrite the following rational numbers in the simplest form:
(i) $\frac{- 8}{6}$ (ii) $\frac{25}{45}$
(iii) $\frac{- 44}{72}$ (iv) $\frac{- 8}{10}$

Solution

(i) $\frac{- 8}{6} = \frac{- 4 \times 2}{3 \times 2} = \frac{- 4}{3}$

(ii) $\frac{25}{45} = \frac{5 \times 5}{9 \times 5} = \frac{5}{9}$

(iii) $\frac{- 44}{72} = \frac{- 11 \times 4}{18 \times 4} = \frac{- 11}{18}$

(iv) $\frac{- 8}{10} = \frac{- 4 \times 2}{5 \times 2} = \frac{- 4}{5}$
