Question

whats a rational #

Answer 1

any number expressible as p/q where p and q are integers and q is not 0

Answer 2

yeah, its any number that can be expressed as a fraction; with integers top and bottom

Answer 3

i have no clue what that means

Answer 4

@amistre64
I feel using the word "fraction" is not appropriate because it implies that p and q have to be positive integers only.......

Answer 5

use ratio then...

Answer 6

saying of the form p/q where p and q are integers and q is not zero is a better explanation

Answer 7

maine kya parsi mein likha tha upar?

Answer 8

hmmm ..... you might be right; but when why would a fraction only need to be +ints?

Answer 9

\[\frac{p}{q};q\ne0 \]
where p qne q are integers

looks like a fraction to me :)

Answer 10

\[\sqrt{2}\]is irrational because there is no way to write it in the form of a fraction \(p\over q\) that will give it an exact value
