Rational number means that can be written as a quotient (from ratio, latin meaning division). E.g .5 is a rational that can be written 1/2. Can't think of the fraction result that is not a rational.

However some rational numbers are not real number, they are irrational (i.e. can't be written as a quotient). Think of pi or square root of 2.

Here we go again ... a yes/no question asking for a true/false answer.Every rational number can be written as a fraction if you want to, even thougha lot of rational numbers are whole numbers that don't have to be written asfractions.


Why are rational numbers integers?

Not necessarily true. All integers are rational numbers, though, because an integer x can be expressed as a ratio of two integers (e.g. x/1).

Which operation of rational numbers lets you add all the numerators then copy the denominator?

Operations on rational numbers refer to the mathematical operations carrying out on two or more rational numbers. A rational number is a number that is of the form p/q, where: p and q are integers, q ≠ 0. Some examples of rational numbers are: 1/2, −3/4, 0.3 (or) 3/10, −0.7 (or) −7/10, etc. We know about fractions and how different operators can be used on different fractions. All the rules and principles that apply to fractions can also be applied to rational numbers. The one thing that we need to remember is that rational numbers also include negatives. So, while 1/5 is a rational number, it is true that −1/5 is also a rational number. There are four basic arithmetic operations with rational numbers: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
