Rational numbers are fractions. There are infinitely many fractions between 1 and 100. You cannot list them all.
But numbers like 1/2 and 1/3 are rational and so are ones like 7 which is 7/1.If you give me any two rational numbers, say 6/8 and 7/8, I can find a rational number in the middle. Let's just right 6/8 as 12/16 and 7/8 as 14/16 then 13/16 is in the middle of those two. I can do that again with 13/16 and 14/6 by writing them as
26/32 and 28/32 and 27/32 in the middle.
I am sure you can see how I can keep doing this forever. This illustrates how between any two rational numbers there is always another. In fact, I just pick the number in the middle of the two, but there are many others between any two rational numbers. We say the rational numbers are a dense subset of the real numbers.

Is 100 rational or irrational?
100 is rational. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction.
How do you order rational numbers when they come in percent forms?
Any percentage is simply a rational number, with the denominator of 100. So multiply them all by 100 and order the resulting rational numbers.
How many rational numbers are between 0 and 1 and why?
A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction. Pick any integer (n) as the denominator then the numerator can be any value between 1 and n-1, for example 1/100, 2/100, 3/100,..........98/100, 99/100. All these fractions lie between 0 and 1. The denominator therefore can be any number in the range 2 to ∞ (infinity). There are thus an unlimited number of rational numbers between 0 and 1.
Is 5.0 rational?
All numbers that can be defined as a fraction are rational, so yes, 50 is rational. 50/1 is a fraction that represents 50.
What is a number that is a natural number and an irrational number?
Natural numbers are a part of rational numbers. All the natural numbers can be categorized in rational numbers like 1, 2,3 are also rational numbers.Irrational numbers are those numbers which are not rational and can be repeated as 0.3333333.
