Answer:
Rational Number: A number that can be expressed in the form p/q , where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0, is called a rational number. The numbers -1/7, 8/15 etc. are rational numbers.
All integers and fractions are rational numbers.
If the numerator and denominator of a rational number are multiplied or divided by a non- zero integer, we get a rational number which is said to be equivalent to the given rational number. For example -3/7 = -3 X 2/7 X 2 = -6/14. so we say -6/14 is the equivalent form of -3/7. Also note that -6/14 = -6 ÷ 2/14 ÷ 2 = -3/7
Rational numbers are classified as Positive and Negative rational numbers. When the numerator and denominator, both, are positive integers, it is a positive rational number. When either the numerator or the denominator is a negative integer, it is a negative rational number. For example, 1/8 is a positive rational number whereas -3/7 is a negative rational number.
