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.

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.

Which one is more irrational or rational?

You can choose an irrational number to be either greater or smaller than any given rational number. On the other hand, if you mean which set is greater: the set of irrational numbers is greater. The set of rational numbers is countable infinite (beth-0); the set of irrational numbers is uncountable infinite (more specifically, beth-1 - there are larger uncountable numbers as well).


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.

Is 0.6 a rational number or an irrational number?

Rational because you can coinvert it to a ratio(fraction). 0.6 = 6/10 = 3/5 NB Irrational numbers are those that cannot be converted to a fraction. e,g, pi = 3.1415692.... or sqrt(2) = 1.414213562.... There are many more irrational numbers.
