This material is meant for the use of schools who are a part of the CBSE-International only. PREFACE The Curriculum initiated by Central Board of Secondary Education -International (CBSE-i) is a progressive step in making the educational content and methodology more sensitive and responsive to the global needs. It signifies the emergence of a fresh thought process in imparting a curriculum which would restore the independence of the learner to pursue the learning process in harmony with the existing personal, social and cultural ethos. The Central Board of Secondary Education has been providing support to the academic needs of the learners worldwide. It has about 11500 schools affiliated to it and over 158 schools situated in more than 23 countries outside India. The Board has always been conscious of the varying needs of the learners in countries abroad and has been working towards contextualizing certain elements of the learning process to the physical, geographical, social and cultural environment in which they are engaged. The International Curriculum being designed by CBSE-i, has been visualized and developed with these requirements in view. The nucleus of the entire process of constructing the curricular structure is the learner. The objective of the curriculum is to nurture the independence of the learner, given the fact that every learner is unique. The learner has to understand, appreciate, protect and build on values, beliefs and traditional wisdom, make the necessary modifications, improvisations and additions wherever and whenever necessary. The recent scientific and technological advances have thrown open the gateways of knowledge at an astonishing pace. The speed and methods of assimilating knowledge have put forth many challenges to the educators, forcing them to rethink their approaches for knowledge processing by their learners. In this context, it has become imperative for them to incorporate those skills which will enable the young learners to become 'life long learners'. The ability to stay current, to upgrade skills with emerging technologies, to understand the nuances involved in change management and the relevant life skills have to be a part of the learning domains of the global learners. The CBSE-i curriculum has taken cognizance of these requirements. The CBSE-i aims to carry forward the basic strength of the Indian system of education while promoting critical and creative thinking skills, effective communication skills, interpersonal and collaborative skills along with information and media skills. There is an inbuilt flexibility in the curriculum, as it provides a foundation and an extension curriculum, in all subject areas to cater to the different pace of learners. The CBSE has introduced the CBSE-i curriculum in schools affiliated to CBSE at the international level in 2010 and is now introducing it to other affiliated schools who meet the requirements for introducing this curriculum. The focus of CBSE-i is to ensure that the learner is stress-free and committed to active learning. The learner would be evaluated on a continuous and comprehensive basis consequent to the mutual interactions between the teacher and the learner. There are some non-evaluative components in the curriculum which would be commented upon by the teachers and the school. The objective of this part or the core of the curriculum is to scaffold the learning experiences and to relate tacit knowledge with formal knowledge. This would involve trans-disciplinary linkages that would form the core of the learning process. Perspectives, SEWA (Social Empowerment through Work and Action), Life Skills and Research would be the constituents of this 'Core'. The Core skills are the most significant aspects of a learner's holistic growth and learning curve. The International Curriculum has been designed keeping in view the foundations of the National Curricular Framework (NCF 2005) NCERT and the experience gathered by the Board over the last seven decades in imparting effective learning to millions of learners, many of whom are now global citizens. The Board does not interpret this development as an alternative to other curricula existing at the international level, but as an exercise in providing the much needed Indian leadership for global education at the school level. The International Curriculum would evolve on its own, building on learning experiences inside the classroom over a period of time. The Board while addressing the issues of empowerment with the help of the schools' administering this system strongly recommends that practicing teachers become skillful learners on their own and also transfer their learning experiences to their peers through the interactive platforms provided by the Board.

Suggested Videos/ Links/ PPT's 83 1 INTRODUCTION TO RATIONAL NUMBERS Introduction You have already learnt about natural numbers, whole numbers, integers and fractional numbers (or fractions) along with fundamental operations on them. Recall that we had extended the collection of whole numbers to integers to represent the situations like ‘profit and loss’, ‘temperatures below and above oC’, ‘height below and above sea level’ etc., by including negative numbers like.., 4, 3, 2, 1,… etc. Recall that in daily life the quantities above cannot always be expressed in whole numbers above and that is why, we had to introduce fractions’ such as , , , , etc., In this unit, we shall further extend these numbers to new type of numbers called rational numbers by introducing numbers such as , , , etc., to handle opposite situations corresponding to situations represented by fractions , , , etc. We shall also study fundamental operations on rational numbers and their use in our day today life. 1. Fractions – A Review Recall that fractions are numbers of the type , , , , etc, which can be written in the form , where p and q are natural numbers. In a fraction , p is called the numerator and q is called the denominator. Proper fraction A fraction is called a proper fraction if the numerator is less than the denominator. The fractions , , , , etc., are examples of proper fractions. Improper fraction A fraction is called an improper fraction if the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. The fractions , , , , etc., are example of improper fractions. Mixed fractions A combination of a natural number and proper fraction is called a mixed fraction or mixed number. Examples of mixed fractions are 2 2 , 1 , 69 , 101 2 is same as 1 , etc. or is same as (improper fraction) or (improper fraction) etc. Thus, every mixed fraction can be converted into an improper fraction. Conversely, every improper fraction (with numerator greater than denominator) can be expressed as a mixed fraction. For example, =2 , =2 , =1 , etc Unit fraction A fraction whose numerator is 1, is called a unit fraction. For example, , , , , etc, are unit fractions. Note that fractions such as , , etc, are not unit fractions. Like fractions Fractions having the same denominators are called like fractions. For example, , , , , etc are like fractions. Similarly, , , , , are also like fractions. Unlike fractions Fractions having different denominators are called unlike fractions. For example, , , , , etc. 3 are unlike fractions. Simplest or Lowest form of a fraction A fraction in which numerator and denominator have no common factor other than 1 (i.e., numerator and denominator are coprime) is said to be in its simplest or lowest form. For example, , , , , etc., are fraction in simplest form. Equivalent fractions Fractions having same simplest form are called equivalent fractions. , For example. , , , , are equivalent fractions because each of there can be expressed in the simplest form as . = = = = = = = etc. Similarly, the fractions , , , 4 are equivalent fractions as = = = = = = , etc, but , , are not equivalent fractions as = = = = , which is not equal to . but Recall that we can obtain a fraction equivalent to a fraction by multiplying (or dividing) p and q by same non zero numbers. Operations on fractions (i) Addition Sum of two like fractions is a fraction whose numerator is the sum of numerators of given fractions and denominator is the same as that of given fractions, i.e., + = For example, + = + = = = For adding unlike fractions, we first convert them into like fraction and then add as above. + = = = + + = =1 5 + = = + = [Note that denominator of each fraction has been made 60 which is LCM of 15 and 20] + = This can be extended to addition of more than two fractions. (ii) Subtraction Like fractions = [Subtracting numerators keeping denominator same] = Unlike fractions = [converting fractions into like fractions] = = (iii) Multiplication Product of two (or more) fractions = For example, × (iv) = = × × = 1 × × = =1 = × × = = =6 Division To divide a fraction by another fraction, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. 6 For example, = of × = = = 3 = = = × reciprocal x reciprocal of × = = 2. Rational Numbers Need for further extention of numbers Recall that sum and difference of two fractions is always a fraction. For example. + = = – Again What about Fraction = – = Fraction ? Is it a fraction? Think!! If yes, find that fraction. If no, what to do then? Now, Suppose we have the equation 3x – 6 = 0 You can verify that 2 is a solution of this equation which is a whole number. 7 If we have the equation 3x + 6 = 0 You can verify that ‘ 2’ is a solution of this equation which is an integer but not a whole number. That is 3x + 6 = 0 cannot be solved in whole numbers but can be solved in integers. If we have the equation 3x -7 = 0 You can verify that is a solution of this equation, which is a fraction. Thus, this equation has no solution in integers but can be solved in fractions. If we have the equation 3x + 7 = 0 try to find a fraction which is its solution. Can you find such fraction? If yes, find the fraction. If no, what to do? In both the above situations, you are not able to find fractions providing answers. To overcome this difficulty there is a need to extend the number system further by including numbers like , , , , … etc. You may call such numbers as ‘negative fractions’. The extended collection so obtained is known as collection of rational numbers. In general The numbers which can be expressed in the form q , where p and q are integers and 0 are called rational numbers. p is called its numerator and q is called its denominator. 8 , Thus, the numbers , , , , , , , etc., are all rational numbers. From the above definition, you can observe: (a) Every whole number is a rational number because it can be written in the form when p, q are integers and q For example 0 = , 0 , 1= , 2 = , 3 = , 4 = , etc (b) Every integer is a rational number because it can be written in the form q are integers and q For example, -4 = , where p, 0. , -11 = ,3= ,0= , etc. (c) Every fractions is a rational number. What about converser of (a), (b) and (c)? Clearly, their converses are not true. That is (a’) Every rational number is not a whole number for example, but it is not a whole number. (b’) Every rational number is not an integer. For example, also a rational number but none of these is an integer. (c’) Every rational number is not a fraction. For example, is a rational number is a rational number, is is a rational number but not is a rational number but not a fraction. a fraction. Similarly, Positive and Negative Rational Numbers In a rational number , if both p and q are of the same sign i.e., both positive or both negative, then it is called a positive rational number, If p and q are of opposite signs, then rational number p/q is called a negative rational number. For example, and , , , , , , , etc., are positive rational numbers , etc , are negative rational numbers Rational Number 0 (i.e., , , , etc., is neither positive nor negative. 9 Example 1: , , Which of the following rational numbers are fractions? , , , , , , , -5 , , , Solution: Only following rational numbers are fractions: , , , 3. Standard form of a Rational Number A rational number is said to be in standard form if (i) Its denominator is positive, (q > 0) (ii) there is no common factor other than 1 of numerator and denominator, i.e., HCF of p, q = 1 For example rational numbers The rational numbers , , , , , , etc., are in standard form. , etc., are not in standard form as in , q is not positive although HCF of 3, 2 is 1. in , q > 0, but HCF of 8, 16 is 8 not 1 in , q > 0 but HCF of 15, 30 is 15 not 1 Example 2: Convert the following rational numbers in standard form: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) 10 Solution: = (i) = [Denominator has been made positive by multiplying numerator and denominator by same number -1] (ii) In the rational number , the denominator is positive but HCF of 16 and 20 is 4 (not 1) So, we divide both numerator and denominator by 4. = (iii) In = , which is in standard form. , denominator is not positive. Also HCF of 10 and 2, not 1. So, we have = = = = , Which is in standard form = (iv) = = = , which is in standard form. 4. Equivalent Rational Numbers Two rational numbers are said to be equivalent rational numbers if they have the same standard form. For example and are equivalent rational numbers because = and = i.e., they have the same standard form. Similarly, , , , , are equivalent rational numbers because standard form of each of them is 11 . Conversion of a rational number into equivalent rational number Recall how to convert a fraction into an equivalent fraction. Likewise, a rational number can be converted into an equivalent rational number by multiplying (or dividing) both the numerator and denominator by the same non zero number. For example, = So, = is equivalent to the rational number = Similarly, So, Also, = is also equivalent to is equivalent to = Example 3 : Convert each of the following rational numbers into an equivalent rational number. (i) (ii) (iii) Solution: (i) = (ii) = (iii) = Example 4: Write There can be infinitely many equivalent rational numbers to a given rational number = = = in an equivalent rational number form so that. (i) its numerator is 60 (ii) its denominator is 15 12 Solution: = (i) = [Multiplying both numerator and denominator by 30 so that numerator becomes 60] (ii) = = [Multiplying both numerator and denominator by ( 3), so that denominator becomes -15] (iii) 5. Operations on Rational Numbers The operation of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of rational numbers are similar to that of integers and fractions which you have already studied. We explain these through examples. (i) Addition (a) Addition of rational numbers with same denominator. Let two rational number be + and = Adding numerators Keeping denominator same = Similarly [Adding integers (-19) and 5] = [Dividing numerator and denominator by 2] = [Rational number in standard form] + = Adding numerators Keeping denominator same = In general, to add two rational numbers and + = The above rule can be extended to more than two rational numbers. 13 Example 5: Add and Solution: We write + = + = = = , Example 6: Add and Solution: We write = Now, + + = + + = = = (b) Addition of rational numbers with different denominators Let two rational numbers be and + = + [Making the denominators same] + = = [Adding numerators and keeping denominator same] = Thus, + = 14 Similarly, let us add + = = = and + = + [Making the denominator = 15 = LCM of 15 and 3] + = = = Again consider two rational numbers + = + , [Making the denominators same i.e., 30 which is LCM of 10 and 15] + = = = You may also do it as follows: + = = + + = = = You may note that it is always convenient to add two rational numbers with different denominators, by converting their denominators into LCM of two denominators. 15 In general, To add two (or more) rational numbers with different denominators, we first convert them into equivalent rational numbers with common denominator equal to their LCM and then add as done before for adding rational numbers with same denominator. , and Example 7: Add + + Solution: = + = = + + [LCM of 3, 9 and 12 = 36] + = = = (ii) Subtraction of Rational Numbers (a) Subtraction of rational numbers with same denominator Let two other rational numbers be – = and [Subtracting 2nd numerator from first numerator keeping same denominator] = Let us go back to the problem of subtracting We have – = from faced by us in (2) above. [Subtracting 2nd numerator from first numerator keeping the denominator same] = Similarly, – = [ Subtracting 2nd numerator from first numerator, keeping denominator same] 16 = = and - = = = = -1 In general, if and are two rational numbers – = Example 8: Subtract from Solution: – = = = Example 9: Subtract Solution: So, – = from (Making denominator positive) = = = = (b) Subtraction of rational numbers with different denominators Here again, we convert the given rational numbers into equivalent form with same denominator, preferably their LCM. We explain it through examples. Example 10: Subtract from . Solution: – = – [Making denominator same i.e., 15 = LCM of 5 and 3] 17 = – = = Example 11: Subtract from Solution: = [LCM of 24 and 36 is 72] = = = Suppose we add Similarly, and + = + = . We have = =0 =0 In such case , we say that additive inverse of . Similarly, additive inverse of + + In general, if then is additive inverse of rational number is = = and that of = is =0 =0 and are two rational numbers such that is called the additive inverse of and vice versa. = In Example 11, = , as + additive inverse of + 18 + = + =0 and is = + = = Thus, to subtract , from we can add the additive inverse of to . In general, – = + additive inverse of + = (iii) Multiplication of Rational Numbers You already know that for two fractions product of fractions = For example, = = = = = [diving numerator and denominator by HCF of 450 and 180 i.e., 90] = The above rule of multiplication of two rational numbers can be extended to more than two rational numbers. Example 12: Multiply -2, and Solution: We have 19 = = = (iv) = = 4 Division of Rational Numbers Recall that to divide a fraction by another fraction, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. We follow the same rule for dividing a rational number by a non-zero rational number. As = 1 and 4 = 1., is the For example, to divide reciprocal of 4 and 4 is the reciprocal of . by , we multiply by the reciprocal of = Similarly, as i.e., the reciprocal of reciprocal of = = = = 1; and is reciprocal of . = = Reciprocal of is as =1 Example 13: Divide Solution: = reciprocal of = = = = 20 is 6. Representation of a Rational Number as a Decimal Recall that a fraction can be represented as a decimal For example, = 0.5 = 0.75 0.75 28 20 20 0 = 1.8 1.8 5 5 40 40 0 Similarly, a rational number can represented in the form of a decimal. For example, = -0.5 = = 0.75 = 1.8 Thus, if a rational number is negative, we first find decimal representation of corresponding fraction and then assign sign ( ) to the decimal. Let us find decimal representation of rational number . By long division, 21 = 0.3333… 0.333 9 10 9 10 9 10 9 1 Here the decimal representation is not ending as each time, we get remainder 1. Also, the digit 3 in the decimal representation is repeating. We say that decimal representation of rational number is (i) Non terminating and (ii) repeating Clearly, decimal representation of , , , , , are terminating and so is the case with . Let us find decimal representation of some more rational numbers. Example14: Final decimal representation of (i) (ii) (ii) (vi) (iii) Solution: (i) = 0.625 Here, decimal representation is terminating 22 (iv) 0.625 48 20 16 40 40 0 (ii) = 3.666 Here, decimal representation non terminating and repeating 3.666 9 20 18 20 18 20 18 20 18 2 Here, digit 6 is repeating we write = 3.666 = 3. 23 (iii) = 3.1666 Here, decimal representation is non terminating and repeating 3.1666 18 10 6 40 36 40 36 40 36 4 = -3.1 (iv) = 0. 3555…. = -0.3 Here, decimal representations is non terminating and repeating 0.355 135 250 225 250 250 25 24 (v) = 2.142857142857 Here, decimal representation is non-terminating and repeating. A block of 142857 is repeating. We write = -2. 2.142857 142857 14 10 7 30 28 20 14 60 56 40 35 50 49 10 7 30 28 2 (vi) = 0.12 Decimal representation is terminating 0.12 25 50 50 0 Observe that the decimal representation of a rational number is either terminating or non-terminating repeating. 7. Representation of Rational Numbers on the Number Line Recall that integers can he represented on the number line and so are the fractions. In the same way, rational number can also be represented on the number line. We proceed as follows: 25 We draw a line and take a point 0 on it to represent the rational number 0. The positive rational numbers will be on the right side of 0 and the negative rational number will be on the left side of 0. Fig.1 Recall that consecutive points representing number 1, 2, 3, …, 1, 2, 3, … are at unit distance from each other. To represent a rational number say, on the number live, we divide the line segment OA into two equal parts OM and MA. The mid-point M represents the rational number . To represent rational number , we divide the line segment OA’ into two equal parts,… ON and NA’. The point N represents the rational number . Similarly, we can represent the rational number , , , by dividing the each unit distance into two equal parts as shown in Fig.2. Fig.2 For representing the rational number say , we divide each unit distance into four equal parts and take the 5th point from O towards right as shown in Fig.3. Clearly, the rational number will be represented by the 5th point to the left of O. 26 Fig.3 , In the same way, we can represent rational number, , , , , , etc on the number line. Example 15: Represent the rational numbers and on the number line Solution: Divide each unit distance into three equal parts. The second point. from O to the right represent . Fig.4 Redraw: Divide the line segment (0,1) into 3 equal parts. Similarly (0, (-1) into 3 equal parts. Note: Distance (0,1), (-1, -2), (-2, -3) or (0,1), (1, 2), (2, 3) all are equal. Similarly, the second point from O to the left represents In the same way, we can represent , , . . ., In this manner, every rational number , . , . . . on the number line. can be represented on the number line by dividing each unit distance into q equal parts and taking the pth point from O toward right (for positive) and left (for negative) rational number. 8. Comparison of Rational Numbers (a) Graphically: For comparing two rational number graphically, we represent them on the number line. 27 The number on the right is greater than the other (See Fig. 5) and the number on the left is smaller than the other. Fig. 5 Redraw: Divide the line segment (0,1) into 3 equal parts. Similarly (0, (-1) into 3 equal parts. Note: Distance (0,1), (-1, -2), (-2, -3) or (0,1), (1, 2), (2, 3) all are equal. < Clearly, > , < , > > and so on. Algebraically: Let us compare two rational numbers say and = = = and = . [Converting to equivalent rational numbers having same denominator. HCF of 3 and 4 = 12] As denominator of and is the same, so we compare their numerators 9 and 8. > Since, 9 > 8, so, > Or, In fact, every positive rational number is greater than every negative rational number. Now, let us compare = and = and = = = = [Making denominators same and positive] 28 Denominators of and Here, 6 > 25 are the same. So, we compare their numerators 25 and 6. (Why?) > So, > Hence, Example 16: Which is smaller? , (i) Solution: (i) = and , (ii) = = [LCM of 11 and 7 = 77] = Here, denominators are the same, we compare numerators 55 and 42. Clearly, 55 > 42. > So, . Hence, (ii) and = = is smaller. = = Here, we compare numerators 55 and 42, because denominators are the same. 55 < 42 < So, Hence, is Smaller. To compare two rational numbers. (i) First make their denominator positive. (ii) If they are of opposite signs, positive rational number is always greater than the negative rational number. (iii) If both are positive, compare them as fractions. 29 (iv) If both are negative, compare their corresponding fractions negative (ignoring the –sign). If one fraction is greater than the other, then the corresponding rational number is less than the other. (v) Every positive rational number is greater than 0 and every negative rational number is less than 0. 9. Finding Rational Numbers between any two Rational Numbers. Take any two integers say 7 and 2. Recall that there are only eight integers 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, and 1 between these two integers. Since 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and 1 are rational numbers also, so we can say that there are eight rational numbers between rational numbers 7 and 2. Can you find some more rational numbers between the two given rational numbers. 7 can be written as and 2 can be written as , So, rational numbers , , …, , . , and , are between and or between 7 and 2. How many number are these? They are 89 such numbers. Similarly 7 = and 2= Clearly, rational numbers , ,…, and , are between rational number 7 and 2. In this way, we can say that there are infinitely many rational numbers between any two rational numbers. Example 16: Find three rational numbers between Solution: and = = 30 and . , Clearly, rational numbers , ,…, and and . We can are between choose any three of them. Alternate Method Let us find: = = = Let us compare and = and Further So, i.e., and and . > < lies between and . In general, if and i.e., is always a rational number lying between + are two district rational numbers then, their average (or mean) and By this method also, we can find infinitely many rational numbers, between two rational number. Another rational number between Similarly, = = and will be = is another rational number between = and . 10. Applications of Rational Numbers in Problem solving. Example 18: A person travels a distance of km towards west and then a distance of km towards east on the same road. Find the distance and direction of the person from the starting point. Solution: Let the person start from a point, say, O toward west. Distance travelled towards west = Distance travelled towards east = km km 31 Position of the person is given by the expression + = = + = = So, the person is at a distance of Example 19: As a part of a cycles, km from his original point in west direction. km long marathon race, km was to be covered by km by boat and rest on foot. How much is the distance travelled on foot? Solution: Distance to be covered by cycles and boat = km Distance to be covered on foot = km = km = km = km = km = = km km Example 20: A field is km long and km wide. It is prosposed to sow wheat in part of the field and grow vegetable in the remaining part. Find the area of the field in which vegetables are to be grown? Solution: Area of the field = 32 Part of the filed for sowing wheat = = So, the part of the field left for vegetables = 1 Area of the field for vegetable = km = = = Example 21: The length of a ribbon is packets each of length is km. metres. Its metre. Find the number of gift packets. Solution: Length of ribbon used for gift packets = of = x = metres metres metres. Length of the piece used for one gift pack = So, number gift packets = = part is used for wrapping gift x = 50 33 metres 34 Student’s Worksheet – 1 Recall Fractions Warm Up W1 Name of the student _______________________ Date _____________ Activity – I recall The tiling shown below is the basic unit that makes an entire floor pattern.
