7/6 is irrational right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

A number is rational if it can be expressed as a fraction of two integers (0 can't be in the denominator though)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is 19 rational? no right? @jim_thompson5910

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[19 = \dfrac{19}{1}\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

since 19 = 19/1, is that a fraction of two whole numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so it is !

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so 19 is rational

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

every whole number is rational for similar reasoning

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 22+(7/6) the result would be rational right!!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what result do you get when you add

OpenStudy (anonymous):

23 1/6

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that can be written as an improper fraction, so it is rational

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

an improper fraction of whole numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):
