Yes, 1.6 is a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction where the numerator is 16 and the denominator is 10, resulting in 16/10. A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, where the denominator is not zero. Since 16 and 10 are both integers and the denominator is not zero, 1.6 is indeed a rational number.

The term, "A rational number" simply means that the number can be expressed as a ratio of two numbers.

Any whole number or integer can be written as a fraction with 1 as the denominator.

16 = 16/1 and there are many equivalent fractions such as 32/2' 48/3......and so on.

Yes, because 1.6 is a decimal so it can be written as one and three over five (1 and 3/5 or 1 and 6/10). A rational number is represented as a fraction, it is often expressed in simplest form. A fraction is in simplest form when the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator is one.

-16 is the ratio of -16 to 1, and of 16 to -1, and of -32 to 2, -48 to 3, 64 to -4, etc.

Any one of these shows that -16 is rational.
