For any given subset, yes, because there are an infinite number of Irrational Numbers for each rational number. But for the set of ALL real numbers, both are infinite in number, even though the vast majority of real numbers would be irrational.

Yes. There are countably infinite rational numbers but uncountably infinite irrational numbers.

Are there more rational numbers than irrational numbers true or false?

In between any two rational numbers there is an irrational number. In between any two irrational numbers there is a rational number.


What is the number of rational numbers between square root 3 and square root 5?

Infinitely many. In fact, there are more irrational numbers between them than there are rational numbers.Infinitely many.

Is There fewer rational numbers than irrational numbers.?

Yes. The infinity of rational numbers has the same size as the natural numbers, said to be "countable". The infinity of real numbers (and therefore, also of irrational numbers) is a larger infinity, said to be "uncountable".


How are rational and irrational numbers similar?

Both are part of the real numbers; both are infinite sets. (However, there are more irrational than rational numbers.)Both are part of the real numbers; both are infinite sets.

Are there more rational number than irrational numbers?

There are more irrational numbers than rational numbers. The rationals are countably infinite; the irrationals are uncountably infinite. Uncountably infinite means that the set of irrational numbers has a cardinality known as the "cardinality of the continuum," which is strictly greater than the cardinality of the set of natural numbers which is countably infinite. The set of rational numbers has the same cardinality as the set of natural numbers, so there are more irrationals than rationals.
