Question

Every rational number is an fraction true or false

Answer 1

Hello buddy ,

Rational number can be defined as a number in the form of p/q where q is not equal to 0 .

So according to this the given statement is true .

Answer 2

Answer:

'Every rational number is an fraction' - is a False Statement.

All fractions can be termed as rational numbers but all rational numbers cannot be termed as fractions. Only those rational numbers p/q are termed as fractions in which 'p' and 'q' are positive integers .

Step-by-step explanation:

• A Rational Number is defined as a number that can be expressed in the form p/q , where p and q are integers and q≠0.
• Every rational number is either positive or negative except 0 which is neither a positive nor a negative rational number.
• If both the Numerator and denominator of a rational number are either negative or positive , then it is called a positive Rational Number. For example, $\frac{-2}{-7}$ and $\frac{4}{7}$ are positive Rational Number.

• If any of the numerator or Denominator of a rational number is negative, then it is called a negative rational number. For example, $\frac{-2}{7}$ and $\frac{4}{-5}$.  
• A Fraction is a part of a whole or a collection which is represented as x/y where x is the numerator and y is the denominator.
• Fraction is any number of the form x/y where both “x” and “y” are whole numbers and y≠0. On the other hand, a rational number is a number which is in the form of p/q where both “p” and “q” are integers(positive or negative) and q≠0.

• All fractions can be termed as rational numbers but all rational numbers cannot be termed as fractions. Only those rational numbers p/q are termed as fractions in which 'p' and 'q' are positive integers .
