Yes, 1 over 2 is a rational number. A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction where the numerator and denominator are both integers. In this case, 1 over 2 is the fraction 1/2, which meets the criteria of being a rational number.
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction. For example, the number 5 is a rational number because as a fraction it is 5/1. The number 0.5 is a rational number because as a fraction it is 1/2. The square root of 3 is not a rational number, as it can not be expressed as a simple fraction.
It is a rational number that is 2/9 as a fraction
A rational number can be written in the form of a fraction, which is one integer divided by another integer. If you flip a fraction over, so that the top number (the numerator) turns into the bottom number (the denominator) and the bottom number becomes the top number, then that is called the reciprocal of that fraction (it can also be called the inversion of that fraction). So for example, two thirds is a rational number, 2/3; the reciprocal is 3/2.
The official definition of a rational number is: Any fraction with whole numbers on top and bottom.2/4 certainly meets that description.
