Question

Can every rational number be written as a fraction of two intergers?

Answer 1

That's what defines a rational number...

Answer 2

Yes. That is the definition of a rational number.

Answer 3

So "Not every rational number can be written as a fraction of two intergers" is a false statement rigth?

Answer 4

Correct.

Answer 5

Can you give an example that proves it rigth?

Answer 6

There is no need for that, because rational numbers are defined as the ratio of two integers. A definition cannot be proven, because it is just what is agreed upon.

Answer 7

so would 3/7 be an example? sorry is because it mandates an example on my hw & so far the one i have is 3/7 & 3/9

Answer 8

Every two integers you'll take and write as a fraction will be counted as an example.

Answer 9

Yes, that would be an example. Also 234/567 is an example, or -6/10000001.
As long as you can divide two integers (so the denominator may not be 0), the outcome is called: "a rational number". That's the deal here.

Answer 10

Thank you so freaking much!

Answer 11

You're friggin' welcome!
