Examples are: 1/4, 3/4, 7/8. 8/4 is not because 8/4 is 2 which is an integer. A non-integer rational number is a number that can be written as an exact fraction or as a terminating decimal. A non-integer has no digits to the right of the decimal point. Since -1.6 has one or more digits to the right of the decimal point, it is not an integer. Fractions are non-integers. ∏ (Pi) is also a non-integer.

What is a rational number that's not an integer?
Some types of rational but noninteger numbers are fractions, negative fractions, decimals, any kind of percent, etc. Integers arepositive and negative whole numbers, like 24 or -6. A rational but noninteger example is 5% or -3/4.
What are some examples of non integer rational number?
Some examples are 1/3, -4/7, 5 3/4, -6.37
What is a rational number less than 1?
Some examples: 0, 3/5, -6, 0.23, -5
Are rational numbers is a whole number?
Some rational numbers are whole numbers, some are not. The set of whole numbers is a proper subset of rational numbers.
Explain why the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is an irrational number?
Let R1 = rational number Let X = irrational number Assume R1 + X = (some rational number) We add -R1 to both sides, and we get: -R1 + x = (some irrational number) + (-R1), thus X = (SIR) + (-R1), which implies that X, an irrational number, is the sum of two rational numbers, which is a contradiction. Thus, the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is always irrational. (Proof by contradiction)
