Rational Numbers

For some of you that didn't know yet, our next unit is on rational numbers. First of all, what is rational numbers?

Rational Numbers:
- A number that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers, where the divisor is not zero. Which means that a number that can be put into a simple fraction.

For example:
-half in decimal form is 0.50 and when it is written in a fract it is 1/2.

Irrational Numbers:
- The opposite of rational numbers. The number cannot be expressed as the quotient of two integers, where the divisor is not zero. Which means that you can't put a number into a simple fraction.

For example:
-a number that goes on and on and on and never stops, 0.12345678910111213141516...


I hope you like my post! (:

Good work Shaneille! It's very clear, and has a lot of detail. But, instead of fraction, it says fract. But overall, great post!
