every fraction is a rational number but every rational number need not be a fraction. why explain with giving one example?...
Answers
Explanation:
Since every mixed fraction consisting of an integer part and a fractional part can be expressed as an improper fraction, which is quotient of two integers. Thus, every mixed fraction is also a rational number. Hence, every fraction is also a rational number. 1/3 is a fraction.
Answer:
Every fraction is a rational number but a rational number need not be a fraction.
Let a/b be any fraction. Then, a and b are natural numbers. Since every natural number is an integer. Therefore, a and b are integers. Thus, the fraction a/b is the quotient of two integers such that b ≠ 0.
Hence, a/b is a rational number.
We know that 2/-3 is a rational number but it is not a fraction because its denominator is not a natural number.
Since every mixed fraction consisting of an integer part and a fractional part can be expressed as an improper fraction, which is quotient of two integers.
Thus, every mixed fraction is also a rational number.
Hence, every fraction is also a rational number.
