What happens when you add subtract multiply and divide rational numbers?

If you add, subtract or multiply rational numbers, the result will be a rational number. It will also be so if you divide by a non-zero rational number. But division by zero is not defined.

What happens when you multiply rational numbers?

The product is a rational number.


What happens when you add two rational numbers?

The result will also be a rational number.


Can you subtract 2 irrational numbers to get a rational number?

Yes. Example: pi - pi = 0.You can even subtract two different irrational numbers to get a rational number.For example: e - (e - 1) = 1 or Φ - (1/Φ) = 1.


How do you add or subtract rational numbers with common denominators?

you subtract the top 2 numbers and then leave the denominators the same like: 7/8-4/8=3/8. Get it?


How can I order rational numbers from least to greatest?

There are several ways: convert them all into decimal (or percentage) notation and order these. Or subtract the rational numbers in pairs. If the answer is positive then the first of the two is larger.


What happens when two irrational numbers are multiplied?

You get a product which can be rational or irrational.


Can you subtract two rational numbers and get an irrational number?

Do you mean can we subtract one rational number from another rational number and get an irrational number as the difference? I'm not a mathematician, but I suspect strongly the answer is no. Wouldn't this imply that we can sometimes add a rational number to an irrational one, and get a rational number as a sum? That doesn't seem possible.Ans 2.It isn't possible. Proof :-Given two rational numbers, multiply the two denominators.Express each rational in terms of the common multiple.Algebraically add the numerators of the new rational numbers.Put this over the common multiple; there's the result expressed as a ratio.


How can you compare rational numbers?

Subtract one from the other.If the answer is positive then the first is larger,if the answer is negative, then the second is larger.Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as fractions whereas irrational numbers can't be expressed as fractions.


How do you order rational numbers between two consecutive integers?

Subtract rational number A from the other rational number B. If the answer is> 0 then B is bigger than A= 0 then B is equal to A< 0 then B is smaller than A


Why is division not closed for rational numbers give an example?

If a set is closed under an operation. then the answer will be a part of that set. If you add, subtract or multiply any two rational numbers you get another national number. But when it comes to division, it is closed except for one number and that is ZERO. eg 3.56 (rational number) &divide; 0 = no answer. Since no answer is not a rational number, that rational numbers are not closed under the operation of division.
