Answer 1

Answer:

You must have studied about operations on fractions.

Rational numbers are expressed in the form of fractions, but we do not call them fractions as fractions include only positive numbers, while rational numbers include both positive and negative numbers.

Let us look at the chart given below to understand rational numbers in relation to other numbers.

Fractions are a part of rational numbers, while rational numbers is a broad category that includes other types of numbers.

Can we perform operations on rational numbers like how we do with fractions?

Let's find out!

In this mini-lesson, we will explore about operations on rational numbers by learning about addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of rational numbers along with their properties.
