What numbers are The union of the rational and irrational numbers?

The real numbers.


Are some rational numbers are irrational numbers?

Numbers cannot be rational and irrational at the same time.


What is the difference between real and rational numbers?

The rational numbers are a subset of the real numbers. You might recall that rational numbers are those that can be expressed as the ratio of two whole numbers (no matter how large they are). Irrational numbers, like pi, cannot. But both sets (the rational and irrational numbers) are subsets of the real numbers. In fact, when we look at all the numbers, we are looking at the complex number system. We break that down into the real and the imaginary numbers. And the real numbers have the rational and irrational numbers as subsets. It's just that simple.


Does the set of rational number overlap the set of irrational numbers why?

By definition, the two sets do not overlap. This is because the irrationals are defined as the set of real numbers that are not members of the rationals.


Is the set of all rational numbers continuous?

Continuity is a characteristic of functions not of sets.The set of rational number is infinitely dense. This means that between any two rational numbers, no matter how close together, there are infinitely many rational numbers. And then, between any two of them these is an infinte number of rational numbers, and so on.But, in case that gives you any wrong ideas, between any two rational numbers there is an even higher order of infinity of irrational numbers. In that respect the number of gaps in the set of rational numbers (where the irrational numbers would be) is greater than the cardinality of rational numbers.Continuity is a characteristic of functions not of sets.The set of rational number is infinitely dense.
