Yes.
An example would be: 14 over 8. That could be converted into 1 and 6 over 8, which you can simplify into 1 and 3 over 4.
Take ANY fraction as the first fraction. Make sure it is either a proper fraction, or written as an improper fraction. For example, 7/4. For the other fraction, simply exchange the numerator and the denominator; in this example, that would be 4/7.
In general, not usually.The square root of an irrational number is always irrational.The square root of a rational number is usually irrational, but not always. You can tell by this test:If both the numerator and denominator of the number expressed as a simplified fraction are perfect square numbers (a number whose square root is a whole number), then the square root of the whole fraction will be rational.Example: Sqrt(4) =2 (the positive one). Sqrt(1) = 1. Both are perfect squares.So sqrt(1/4) = sqrt(1)/sqrt(4) = 1/2. Another one: sqrt(4/9) = 2/3.
No negative number can have a real square root.When you acquire enough math to work with imaginary numbers,you'll be able to express the square root of -52 as j7.2111 (rounded).
