Oh, dude, so rational numbers are denoted with "Q" because it stands for "quotient." Like, rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, so it's all about that division vibe. So, yeah, "Q" for quotient, keeping it real simple for us math enthusiasts.

What type of number can be written as a fraction p divided by q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero?
Any rational number (by definition).
Which is the definition of a rational number?
A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, p and q in the form p/q where q>0.
Are rational numbers always sometimes or never natural numbers?
Sometimes. A rational number is any number that can be written in the form p/q where p and q are integers but q not = 0. So 3 is a natural number and a rational number because it can be written as 3/1. But 1/3 is a rational number only because it will not reduce to a natural (whole) number.

A rational number
How do you add and subtract rational numbers?
A rational number is a number of the form p/q where p and q are integers and q > 0.If p/q and r/s are two rational numbers thenp/q + r/s = (p*s + q*r) / (q*r)andp/q - r/s = (p*s - q*r) / (q*r)The answers may need simplification.
