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.

Probably, because Q denotes the set of rational numbers, which can formaly understood to be quotients of integers.
Any rational number (by definition).
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.
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
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.
