Question

Hamid says 5 by3 is a rational number and 5 is only a natural number Shikha says both are rational numbers with whom do you agree

Answer 1

I agree with shikha as 5/3 and 3 both are rational numbers

rational numbers are the numbers which can be written in the form of P/q where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0

so , 5/3 is a rational number
and 5 can be written as 5/1 is also a rational number
moreover , every natural number is a rational number

so I agree with shikha


hope this helps
