Question

a rational number lies between positive and negative rational number

Answer 1

A rational number is a type of real number, which is in the form of p/q where q is not equal to zero.

• Any fraction with non-zero denominators can be called rational number.
• The ratio p/q can be further simplified and represented in decimal form.
• Real numbers (R) include all the rational numbers (Q).
• Real numbers include the integers (Z).
• Integers involve natural numbers(N).
• A rational number can be either negative, zero, or positive.
• If both the numerator and denominator of a rational number lie to the right or left of zero on the number line, the number is said to be positive.
• It is said to be negative when  the numerator and denominator of a rational number lie on the opposite sides of zero on a number line, the number is said to be negative.
• As the rational number is represented in the form p/q, which is a fraction, then the multiplicative inverse of the rational number is the reciprocal of the given fraction.
• A rational number remains the same if we divide or multiply both the numerator and denominator with the same factor.
• Rational numbers are closed under addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
• All the numbers that are not rational are called irrational.
• An irrational number cannot be written as a simple fraction but can be represented with a decimal.
• It may have endless decimal points.
• There are infinite numbers of rational numbers between two rational numbers.
