a < b

→ a - a < b - a

→ 0 < b - a

→ 0 - b < b - a - b

→ -b < -a

→ if a < b then -b < -a which can also be expressed as -a > -b

How do you order rational numbers when they come in percent forms?

Any percentage is simply a rational number, with the denominator of 100. So multiply them all by 100 and order the resulting rational numbers.


How can a number line be used to compare rational numbers?

because the # line shows the rational #'s in order from least to greatest


How do you check the production of a new car you ordered?

if you have ordered a car especially if it is across the internet you should have an order number, you can take that number and enter it at the website you bought it from and it should tell you if you dont have an order number then call the manufacturer


Is the number 6 rational or irrational?

'6' is RATIONAL. Casually IRRATIONAL numbers are those that have decimals going to infinity AND the decimal digits are NOT in any regular order. 'pi' = 3.141592.... is the most well known irrational number. However, 3.3333... is RATIONAL becaause the decimal digits are in a regular order of '3'.


Is -0.7repeating rational?

Yes. Its rational because you know what number is going to come next. If the numbers were in a random order it would be irrational.


How do you order rational numbers between two consecutive integers?

Subtract rational number A from the other rational number B. If the answer is> 0 then B is bigger than A= 0 then B is equal to A< 0 then B is smaller than A


Is -67 a irrational number?

NO!!! It is rational . Irrational numbers are those were the decimals go to infinity AND there is no regular order in the decimnal digits. pi = 3.141592..... is the most well known IRRATIONAL number. However, a number such as 0.676767.... is rational, because the digits are in a regular order, although it goes to infinity.


What is the order from largest to smallest for whole number integers rational numbers natural number irrational numbers and real numbers?

Such numbers cannot be ordered in the manner suggested by the question because: For every whole number there are integers, rational numbers, natural numbers, irrational numbers and real numbers that are bigger. For every integer there are whole numbers, rational numbers, natural numbers, irrational numbers and real numbers that are bigger. For every rational number there are whole numbers, integers, natural numbers, irrational numbers and real numbers that are bigger. For every natural number there are whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, irrational numbers and real numbers that are bigger. For every irrational number there are whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, natural numbers and real numbers that are bigger. For every real number there are whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, natural numbers and irrational numbers that are bigger. Each of these kinds of numbers form an infinite sets but the size of the sets is not the same. Georg Cantor showed that the cardinality of whole numbers, integers, rational numbers and natural number is the same order of infinity: aleph-null. The cardinality of irrational numbers and real number is a bigger order of infinity: aleph-one.


Is the number 3 rational irrational both rational and irrational or neither rational?

'3' is RATIONAL. All numbers are RATIONAL except those were the decimal goes to infinity AND the decimal digits are NOT in any regular order. pi = 3.1419592.... is probably the most well known IRRATIONAL number. Also the Square Roots of Prime numbers. NB 3.333.... recurring to infinity is RATIONAL, because it can be converted to a RATIO/Fraction.


Is there more rational numbers then irrational?

No. There are infinitely many of both but the number of irrational numbers is an order of infinity greater than that for rational numbers.


How can you solve problems by ordering rational numbers from least to greatest?

Convert all the rational numbers to order into equivalent fractions with the same denominator; then they can be ordered by putting the numerators in order from least to greatest. ------------ You can also convert all the numbers to decimals ... this is actually a special case of "equivalent fractions".


Are there more rational numbers or irrational Numbers?

No. The number of irrationals is an order of infinity greater.
