Question

my question is which of these numbers are rational numbers but not integers -0.43 , -430 , 4.3 , -0.043 , 0.43 , -43 , 430 , 43 , 0.043 , -4.3 ?

Answer 1

integers are whole numbers, and rational numbers are (basically) numbers that can be written as fractions. for example, .5 (1/2) is a rational number, but it is not an integer. can you do this problem from there?

Answer 2

no ive tried and tried im just lost plz help ty

Answer 3

well first eliminate the whole numbers, which are -430, -43, 430, and 43.

that leaves you with:
-0.43, 4.3, -0.043, 0.43, 0.043, -4.3

-0.43 = -43/100
4.3 = 43/10
-0.043 = -43/1000
.43 = 43/100
0.043 = 43/1000
-4.3 = -43/10

so... all of these except the whole numbers are rational, but not integers. (:
