10. An irrational number is a number that cannot be written as a fraction of integers.
Look at the 3 numbers in problem 10a 12/144 is a fraction of integers. Is it irrational?

Read this carefully: An irrational number is a number that cannot be written as a fraction of integers.
Do you know what integers are?
thanks and sorta
Ok. Integers are the whole numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... and the negatives of the whole numbers: -1. -2. -3, ... The set of integers is: {..., -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...} Ok?
ok
In other words, the integers are all whole numbers, zero, and all negatives of whole numbers.
Now we need to define a rational number. A rational number is a number that can be written as a fraction of integers.

If you have a fraction, and the numerator and denominator are integers, the number is a rational number.
ok
Even if the number is not written as a fraction of integers, as long as it CAN be written as a fraction of integers, it is still a rational number.
