Question

Why Is -3and 1/8 a rational number?

Answer 1

because a number in the form of p by q where p and q are integers is called a rational number

Answer 2

Answer:

(-3) = (-3/1); p = -3; q = 1

(1/8) ; p = 1 and q = 8. both are integers.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the classification of numbers in Mathematics we have a category called rational numbers. Any number which can be represented in the form of fractions p by q and q must be a non-zero denominator.

And in here we can represent both (-3) and (1/8) as fractions according to the protocol.
