Is -22 a rational or irrational number?

OpenStudy (zarkon):

\[-22=\frac{-22}{1}\]

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

It can be a ration so its a rational number right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-22 is an integer and Im pretty sure integers count as rational numbers

OpenStudy (freethinker):

first, learn the definition of the terms before you start asking questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just double checked... it is... so -22 is a rational number

OpenStudy (freethinker):

any whole number can be written in fractional form so yeah...

OpenStudy (freethinker):

it really helps to know the definitions of the terms as math is very precise at giving definitions

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

Is -22 just a whole number and a integer or is it also a integer, irrational number, and a natural number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is not a natural number...natural numbers are numbers like 1,2,3, etc... it is an integer because integers are negative numbers, and it is a rational number, it is not an irrational number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And it is not a whole number, whole numbers are natural numbers but they include 0 as well

OpenStudy (freethinker):

kendrick, learn your definitions

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

ok thanks so it is only an integer and a rational number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are confusing sometimes, there is nothing wrong with asking questions @freethinker

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes @KendrickLamar2014

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

Free thinker I was just making sure I had did them all right

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

and thanks again @B_O_R_E_D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np :) @KendrickLamar2014

OpenStudy (freethinker):

I didn't say that there is something wrong with asking questions. I think someone needs to put an effort in understanding definitions FIRST! http://everythingmaths.co.za/grade-11/01-exponents-and-surds/pspictures/6cf9c3169297fd65e38898dd073fd5cf.png
