Question

Fill the negative of a given negative rational number?

Answer 1

Hint: The given question is to find the negative of the negative rational number, here we have to know the meaning of negative in order to find the solution of the question. The negative of the number is the number which when added to the given number then the result obtained would be zero.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Here we know that the negative of a rational number means when the negative or minus sign is used with the rational number then it would be considered as the negative rational number.
Here we are assuming the negative rational number as, \[ - \dfrac{p}{q}\]
Now putting the negative sign on the assumed negative rational number we get:
\[ \Rightarrow - \left( { - \dfrac{p}{q}} \right) = \dfrac{p}{q}\]
Here we get the negative of a negative rational number.

Note: To solve the given question, we need to understand the meaning of the negative of a number, otherwise we would not be able to make the value, and put the appropriate sign accordingly to get the exact value as asked by the question.
