A number of the form p/q is said to be a rational number if
(a) p and q are integers.
(b) p and q are integers and q ≠ 0
(c) p and q are integers and p ≠ 0
(d) p and q are integers and p ≠ 0 also q ≠ 0.
A number which can be expressed as p/q where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0 is
(a) natural number. (b) whole number. (c) integer. (d) rational number.
The product of two rational numbers is –7. If one of the
number is –10, find the other.
Let O, P and Z represent the numbers 0, 3 and -5
respectively on the number line. Points Q, R and S are
between O and P such that OQ = QR = RS = SP.
What are the rational numbers represented by the points
Q, R and S. Next choose a point T between Z and O so
that ZT = TO. Which rational number does T represent?
