take a/b divided by c/d, this is the same as a/b X d/c So you multiply by the reciprocal

How many rational numbers can be put between 2 and7?

There are an infinite number of rational numbers between any two rational numbers. And 2 and 7 are rational numbers. Here's an example. Take 2 and 7 and find the number halfway between them: (2 + 7)/2 = 9/2, which is rational. Then you can take 9/2 and 2 and find a rational number halfway: 2 + 9/2 = 13/2, then divide by 2 = 13/4. No matter how close the rational numbers become, you can add them together and divide by 2, and the new number will be rational, and be in between the other 2.

Is 025 rational?

yes, it is rational because it isnt neverending. irrational numbers are neverending like pi which is 3.14-----------------------------------. it basically never ends. rationals such as 25 over 100 end if you divide 100 into 25. sources: my algebra book
