what is Rational numbers? Explain
Answers
Answer:
A number that can be made by dividing two integers (an integer is a number with no fractional part). The word comes from "ratio"
Step-by-step explanation:
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction where both the numerator and the denominator in the fraction are integers. The denominator in a rational number cannot be zero.
Expressed as an equation,
a rational number is a number a/b, b≠0 where a and b are both integers.
This equation shows that all integers, finite decimals, and repeating decimals are rational numbers. In other words, most numbers are rational numbers.
Example:
1) 6: The number 6 is an integer. It’s also a rational number. Why?
Because 6 can also be expressed as 6/1.
2) -5: -5 can be written as -5/1. Or 5/-1.
Either way, -5 is a rational number, because it can be expressed as a fraction where the numerator and denominator are integers and the denominator doesn’t equal 0.
