Question

Example of a number written in fraction form that is not a rational number.

Answer 1

I thought any fraction was a rational number

Answer 2

22/7 is in fractional form but not a rational number

Answer 3

oh pi... wow... I should have known. Thanks!

Answer 4

:) YW

Answer 5

\[\frac{e}{\pi}\]

Answer 6

What about this question @MathLegend ?

Answer 7

Oh yeah.. but I do not know what e/π means

Answer 8

e is the natural number and π is pi, neither of which are integers. By definition, a rational number is of the form \[\frac{a}{b}\] where both a and b are integers.

Answer 9

By this definition, \(\frac{22}{7}\) is rational. It is an approximation for pi, however the numbers 22 and 7 are still integers.

Answer 10

The only way you can make a fraction that is not rational is by using numbers that are not integers

Answer 11

I just wanted to clear up any confusion in that regard
