Of course. A "rational number" is any number that can be represented
as the ratio of two integers.
-32 is the ratio of -32/1 .
-29.72 is the ratio of -743/25 .
-12.94 is the ratio of -647/50 .
etc.
In fact, we'd go out on a limb here and argue that the negative of any
rational number is also a rational number.
What else can I help you with?
If a number is not a rational number then it is?
It could be irrational or complex.
What is smallest rational number?
There is no such number. If any number laid claim to being the smallest rational number its claim could be challenged by half that number - which would also be rational and, obviously smaller. And the claim of that number could be challenged by half that number, and so on.
How do you write 6 as a rational number?

What is the 15.125 it is a rational or irrational in math?
It is a rational number. The reason that it is rational is that you can represent it as a fraction, where the denominator (the number at the bottom of the fraction) is not equal to 0.So, for example, as we could write the number 15.125 as 15125/1000 then it is rational.

Yes.-2 + -2 becomes -2 - 2 which is -4.-2 - -2 become -2 + 2 which is 0.
Are negitive numbers rational?
yes all negative numbers are rational numbers because they can be written as p/q form where p and q are any integer.

There is no such number. If any number laid claim to being the smallest rational number its claim could be challenged by half that number - which would also be rational and, obviously smaller. And the claim of that number could be challenged by half that number, and so on.
If a square root of a number is a rational or an irrational?
It could be either. For example, √9 is a rational number, whereas √2 is not.
