Describe the relationship between rational numbers and whole numbers. Are all rational numbers also whole numbers? Are all whole numbers also rational numbers? Give examples to support your answer.
The relationship between rational numbers and whole numbers is that every whole number can be represented as a rational number, but not every rational number can be represented as a whole number.
All whole numbers can be expressed as rational numbers because rational numbers are any numbers that can be written as a fraction, where the numerator and denominator are both integers. Whole numbers can be represented as fractions with a denominator of 1. For example, the whole number 5 can be written as the rational number 5/1.
On the other hand, not all rational numbers are whole numbers. Rational numbers include both integers (which include whole numbers) and fractions (which do not include whole numbers). For example, the rational number 3/2 cannot be expressed as a whole number because it represents a fraction that is between 1 and 2.
To summarize, while all whole numbers are rational numbers, not all rational numbers are whole numbers.
Hello! Rational numbers and whole numbers are related, but they are not the same.
1. Rational Numbers: These are numbers that can be expressed as fractions, where the numerator and denominator are both integers. Rational numbers can be either positive or negative. Examples of rational numbers include 1/2, -3/4, 5, and -7.
2. Whole Numbers: Whole numbers are non-negative integers (0, 1, 2, 3, etc.). They do not include negative numbers or fractions. Examples of whole numbers are 0, 1, 2, and 10.
Not all rational numbers are whole numbers. For example, 3/4 is a rational number, but it is not a whole number since it is not an integer.
On the other hand, all whole numbers are also rational numbers. This is because every whole number can be expressed as a fraction by putting it over 1. For example, 3 can be written as 3/1, and 7 can be written as 7/1. Since both the numerator and denominator in these fractions are integers, they are rational numbers.
To summarize, while all whole numbers are rational numbers, not all rational numbers are whole numbers.
