Answer:
(i)
We have:
(−13)×(−21) = 273
And 7×39=273
(ii)
We have:
3×16=48
And (−8) ×(−6) =48
∴ 3×16 =(−8)×(−6)
(iii)
We have:
9×(−16)= −144
And 4×(-36)= −144
9×(−16) = 4×(−36)
Therefore, they are equivalent rational numbers.
(iv)
We have:
7×60 =420
And 15×(-28)= −420
∴ 7×60 ≠15×(−28)
Therefore, the rational numbers are not equivalent.
(v)
We have:
3 ×4=12
And 12×(−1)= −12
12 ≠ −12
Therefore, the rational numbers are not equivalent.
(vi)
We have:
2×2=4
And 3×3=9
2×2≠3×3
Therefore, the rational numbers are not equivalent.

Answer:
(i)
8×15 =120
And ( −10)×(−12)=120
8×15 =(−10) ×(−12)
Therefore, the rational numbers are equal.
ii)
(−3)×(−21) =63
And 7× 9=63
∴ (−3)×(−21) =7×9
Therefore, the rational numbers are equal.
(iii)
(−8) × 21 = −168
And 15 ×(−14) = − 210
(−8) × 21 ≠ 15 × 14
Therefore, the rational numbers are not equal.
