Write four more rational numbers in the following pattern:$ \frac{-3}{5}, \frac{-6}{10}, \frac{-9}{15}, \frac{-12}{20} $


Given :

$ \frac{-3}{5}, \frac{-6}{10}, \frac{-9}{15}, \frac{-12}{20} $ is the given pattern.

To do :

We have to write four more rational numbers in the given pattern.

Solution :

Series formed by Numerators is $-3,-6,-9,-12,....$

$-3\times1,-3\times2,-3\times3,-3\times4,.....$ 

Therefore,

Next four numerators are $-3\times5,-3\times6,-3\times7,-3\times8$ i.e., $-15,-18,-21,-24$.

 Series formed by Denominators is $5,10,15,20,....$.

$5\times1,5\times2,5\times3,5\times4,.....$ 

Therefore,

Next four numerators are $5\times5,5\times6,5\times7,5\times8$ i.e., $25,30,35,40$.

The next four numbers in the series are$\frac{-15}{25}, \frac{-18}{30}, \frac{-21}{35} and \frac{-24}{40}$.
