As a number which can be expressed as a fraction, 1/2 is a rational number.
The square of a negative number is always positive. The square of -8 = 64, a rational number
8/23 is a rational number because all fractions and integers are rational numbers
No, one half which is 1/2 is not a integer. Its a rational number.
1/infinity? * * * * * Nice idea but unfortunately that is not a rational number, which is defined as the ration of two integers, x/y where y > 0. Since infinity is not an integer, the suggested ratio is not a rational number. The correct answer is that there is no such number. If any number laid claim to being the smallest positive rational, then half of that number would have a better claim. And then a half of THAT number would be a positive rational that was smaller still. And so on.
Yes.
It is 8/6.
It can be written as a fraction, so it is rational.
Yes and it is 5/8
Yes, -8 is a rational number
rational. The fact that you could write it out in a fraction proves that it is.
Rational: yes. Natural: no.
It is rational.
5 = 5/1 is a rational number
Yes 1/2 is a rational number
yes
No, it cannot. The product of a rational and irrational is always irrational. And half a number is equivalent to multiplication by 0.5
