What are 3 rational numbers between 5 and - 2?

They are 4, 3 and 2 which are rational numbers because they can be expressed as fractions as for example 3 as a fraction is 3/1.


Is the difference of two rational numbers an integer?

It can be but it certainly doesn't have to be. 3/4 and 1/2 are both rational numbers. (3/4) - (1/2) = 1/4, which is not an integer.


What are four rational numbers that are not integers?

How are integers and rationals numbers different?

All integers are rational numbers, not all rational numbers are integers. Rational numbers can be expressed as fractions, p/q, where q is not equal to zero. For integers the denominator is 1. 5 is an integer, 2/3 is a fraction, both are rational.


Is the sum of two POSITIVE irrational numbers ALWAYS irrational?

No. Two irrational numbers can be added to be rational. For example, 1/3 + 2/3 = 3/3. 1/3 and 2/3 are both irrational, but 3/3 = 1, which is rational.


Rational numbers that are not integers?

Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers (3/2, 15/16). All integers, then, are rational numbers (12 = 12/1).


Are integers rational numbers?

Integers are whole numbers. Rational numbers can be fractions / decimals. But it is NEVER a whole number E.G. of rational numbers : 3/4 or 1.5


Is an integer a rational or irrational number?

RationalThe set of integers is a subset of the set of rational numbers. A rational number can be expressed as the ratio, or fraction of two integers a/b. So 1/2, 2/3, 5/6, 22/7, are all rational numbers. Also 3/1, -5/1, 20/5 are rational numbers, which are also integers.


Is there a rational number that is an integer?

All integers are rational numbers. For example, 3 can be written as 3/1, 6/2 etc...


Are all rational numbers natural?

All of the natural numbers are rational, but there are still more rational numbers that aren't natural ones. Example: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are all natural numbers, and they're all rational. 11/2, 21/2, 31/2, 41/2, and 51/2 are also rational, but they're not natural numbers.


Is -3 a rational or irrational number?

3 is rational. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction.
