Is a rational number always a real number?
Yes. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction.
A natural number is always a rational number?
Yes. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction.
Is rational number always a real number?
Yes. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction.
Is 5.010010001 continuing in that pattern infinitely rational and how can you convert it to a fraction?
5.01001000100001... is not a rational number. Rational numbers will always repeat when written in a digital form. Since it is not rational, it cannot be written as a fraction with integer numerator and denominator.
Is a fraction never a rational number?
Fractions where both the numerator and divisor are rational numbers are always rational numbers.
Are rational numbers always real numbers?
Yes. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction.
Is a rational number always a real number?
Yes. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction.
Is rational number always a real number?
Yes. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction.
A natural number is always a rational number?
Yes. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction.
Is real number is always a rational number?
They are not. Sometimes they are irrational. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction.

5.01001000100001... is not a rational number. Rational numbers will always repeat when written in a digital form. Since it is not rational, it cannot be written as a fraction with integer numerator and denominator.
Is a fraction never a rational number?
Fractions where both the numerator and divisor are rational numbers are always rational numbers.
Are rational number is a fraction sometimes always or never?
Rational numbers can always be expressed as fractions.
How can you determine if a number is rational?
If the number can be expressed as a ratio of two integer (the second not zero) then the number is rational. However, it is not always a simple matter to prove that if you cannot find such a representation, then the number is not rational: it is possible that you have not looked hard enough!
Is the quotient of two nonzero numbers always a rational number?
Yes, as long as the two nonzero numbers are themselves rational. (Since a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient of two rational numbers, or any number that can be written as a fraction using only rational numbers.) If one of the nonzero numbers is not rational, the quotient will most likely be irrational.
The sum of two rational numbers is a rational number?
Always true. (Never forget that whole numbers are rational numbers too - use a denominator of 1 yielding an improper fraction of the form of all rational numbers namely a/b.)
Are decimals in a fraction always rational numbers?
There are are three types of decimals: terminating, repeating and non-terminating/non-repeating. The first two are rational, the third is not.
