Answer:
2 is a rational number because it can be expressed as the quotient of two integers: 2 ÷ 1.
Answer:
Hey Mate
-1/2 is does not belong with the other three because -1/2 is terminating decimal.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given numbers are
-5/11, -1/2, -4/9, -7/3
If the denominator of a rational number is 2n or 5n or 2n522^n\text{ or } 5^n\text{ or } 2^n5^22
n
or 5
n
or 2
n
5

, n∈N, then the rational number is terminating decimal otherwise the rational number is non-terminating decimal.
−511=−0.4545....-\frac{5}{11}=-0.4545....−
11
5
=−0.4545.... (non-terminating decimal)
−12=−0.5-\frac{1}{2}=-0.5−
2
1
=−0.5 (terminating decimal)
−49=−0.44...-\frac{4}{9}=-0.44...−
9
4
=−0.44... (non-terminating decimal)
−73=−2.333-\frac{7}{3}=-2.333−
3
7
=−2.333 (non-terminating decimal)
Therefore, -1/2 is does not belong with the other three because -1/2 is terminating decimal.
Step-by-step explanation:
