I can't give answer but give you hint.

A rational number is said to be in the standard form if its denominator is a positive integer and the numerator and the denominator have no common factor other than 1 .

If a rational number is not in the standard form , then it can be reduced to the standard form .

all except 28/-105 as its denominator is negative. to change it into the stadard form, shift the minus sign up i.e. put that sign for the numerator + reduce all of them to the lowest term.
