Answer 1

Answer:

A rational number is a number which can be put in the form $\frac{p}{q}$ , where p and q are both integers and q ≠0.  p is called numerator (N) and q is called denominator (D)

A rational number is either a terminating or non-terminating but recurring (repeating) decimal.

A rational number may be positive, negative or zero.

EXAMPLES:-

3 , 4 , $\frac{7}{3}$ , $\frac{5}{2}$ , $-\frac{3}{7}$ , 2.7 , 3.923 , 1.427 , 1.2343434 , etc..

The sum, difference and the product of two rational numbers is always a rational number.

The quotient of a division of one rational number by a non-zero rational number is a rational number. Rational numbers satisfy the closure property under addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
