Can a fraction be a whole number?

Answer 1

No. A whole number cannot be a fraction. However, a whole number can be written in rational form. This is done by dividing the whole number by 1. You can then find equivalent rational expressions if you multiply both , its numerator and denominator, by the same non-zero integer.

For example,

17 can be written as the rational number 17/1 and equivalent ratios are (17*3)/(1*3) = 51/3.

Answer 2

Yes, if you put it under 1 :) For example. 7=7/1

Answer 3

1/1 2/2 3/3 4/4 etc

2/1 4/2 6/3 8/4 etc

3/1 and you get the idea.

They are still fractions, but they represent whole numbers like 1, 2, 3 etc.

Answer 4

Yes, a fraction can be a whole number. An example would be 5 over 5, which equals 5.

Answer 5

Any whole number can become a fraction by putting it over 1.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Yes 1/1, 2/2 and so on
