Question

Is 5/0 a rational number. Give reasons.

Answer 1

Answer:

5/0 is not a rational number because denominator =0

Answer 2

Is 5/0 a rational number?

No….

5 divided by 0 can be written as:

5÷0 or 5/0

The answer is undefined and not infinity.

0 is neither positive nor negative so should n/0 be positive or negative. For this reason we leave n/0 as undefined, there is no value we can define for it that is logically consistent so we leave it undefined.

A rational number is any number that can be written as a ratio of two integers (hence the name!). In other words, a number is rational if we can write it as a fraction where the numerator and denominator are both integers.

The term "rational" comes from the word "ratio," because the rational numbers are the ones that can be written in the ratio form p/q where p and q are integers.

Every integer is a rational number, since each integer n can be written in the form n/1.For example 5 = 5/1 and thus 5 is a rational number. However, numbers like 1/2, 45454737/2424242, and -3/7 are also rational, since they are fractions whose numerator and denominator are integers.

I hope you got your answer….
