Question

is zero (0) a rational number? justify your answer

Answer 1

the numbers which can be written as p/q where p and q, both are integers and p is not equal to 0 are called rational numbers.

when we know that 0 can be written as 0/1 with denominator 1, we see that both 0 and 1 are integers, where 1 is not equal to 0.

so we conclude that 0 is a rational mumber an not irrational.

hope this helps you :)

Answer 2

In mathematics, a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, p and q, with the denominator q not equal to zero. Since q may be equal to 1, every integer is a rational number..
