Question

Can Someone PLEASE explain to me rational and irrational numbers?

I DO NOT IN ANY WAY GET THIS!! I have looked everywhere :( Please explain!

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

what is your idea of a ratioed number?

Answer 2

Rational -- Think RATIO

Answer 3

@amistre64 Honestly, I have no clue. I'm completely clueless here.

Answer 4

The Ancient Greeks did not get it either

Answer 5

if we have an integer ratio of n:k then the ratioed number is n/k

any number that looks like a fraction where n and k are integers, k not 0 is a rational number

Answer 6

if a number cannot be written, as the ratio of 2 integers, then it is not a rational number

Answer 7

you had to be working in base 60 to get it :)

Answer 8

Okay... that makes a bit of sense... I mean, I know more than I did XD Thanks! @amistre64

Answer 9

youre welcome. the more you work with the number sets the easier itll become.

Answer 10

Ratio

1/2 Rational
3/5 Rational
23/19 Rational

If is can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, it's Rational. What's an Integer?

Answer 11

A rational number is any number that can be written as a fraction, on the other hand, an irrational number is a number that can't be written as a fraction. For instance:
4.75 = 19/4 = Rational
0.5 = 1/2 = Rational
1.125 = 9/8 = Rational
Whereas:
Pi = Irrational
sqrt2 = Irrational
etc.
I hope this helps in someway! Have a great day! ;)
