plz help

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

can you divide any two rational numbers and get a rational number?

OpenStudy (escamer):

Rational numbers i think

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

hint: 0 is a rational number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

that is not correct @escamer

OpenStudy (escamer):

D: noooo

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

none of the answers are right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why?

OpenStudy (escamer):

Well, ny best guess for this one to get the "correct" answer is probably Rational numbers

OpenStudy (escamer):

*my

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

counter examples 2/0 is not rational 2/3 is not an integer 1/0 is not in {-1,0,1} 2/3 is not a whole number

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

I am sure they meant the rational numbers without 0 or \(\mathbb{Q}\backslash \{0\}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh no! i have 3 mins left

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

common mistake

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

the answer is flawed, email your teacher and tell them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it rational numbers?

OpenStudy (escamer):

Well try Rational numbers :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (escamer):

Thats probably the closest to right

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

rational numbers are not closed with respect to division as 1 and 0 are rational numbers but 1/0 is not

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

but I am guessing that is what they want you to answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, I will

OpenStudy (escamer):

okie dokies, please medal me? :D

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

but what you said is wrong @escamer lol

OpenStudy (escamer):

OpenStudy (escamer):
