Which statement is true?
A. Every rational number is a square root.
B. Every irrational number is a fraction.
C. Every rational number can be written as a fraction.
D. Every square root can be written as a whole number
I go with C
agree, but why did you pick that?
becoz, DENT DENT DE DENT DENT DENT DENT DE DENT
You made the correct choice! Statement C is indeed true. Every rational number can be written as a fraction.
To understand why, we need to first define what rational numbers are. A rational number is any number that can be written as the ratio (or fraction) of two integers, where the denominator is not zero.
So, let's consider any rational number, say, 0.75. We can write it as the fraction 3/4, where the numerator is 3 and the denominator is 4. Similarly, the number 1.5 can be written as the fraction 3/2, where the numerator is 3 and the denominator is 2.
This concept applies to all rational numbers. No matter how large or small a rational number may be, we can always express it as a fraction.
On the other hand, option A states that every rational number is a square root. This statement is false because not all rational numbers are square roots. For example, the number 2 is a rational number, but it is not a perfect square root.
Option B states that every irrational number is a fraction. This statement is false as well because irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Examples of irrational numbers include the square root of 2 (√2), pi (π), and the golden ratio (φ).
Option D states that every square root can be written as a whole number. This statement is false too because not all square roots are whole numbers. Only certain numbers, like 4, 9, and 16, have whole number square roots.
In conclusion, statement C is the correct choice as it accurately represents the nature of rational numbers.
