Question

2. Define rational numbers. Give examples of
three positive and three negative rational
numbers. Is there any rational number
which is neither positive nor negative ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A number that can be written in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0

for ex:- 3/5,9/4,2/5 -6/5,-10/28,-9/10

yes 0 is a rational number which is neither negative nor positive

Answer 2

Answer:

In Maths, rational numbers are represented in p/q form where q is not equal to zero. It is also a type of real number. Any fraction with non-zero denominators is a rational number. Hence, we can say that ‘0’ is also a rational number, as we can represent it in many forms such as 0/1, 0/2, 0/3, etc. But, 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, etc. are not rational, since they give us infinite values.

Example: 12/17, 9/11 and 3/5 are positive rational numbers

Example: -2/17, 9/-11 and -1/5 are negative rational numbers
