Is the opposite of a rational number also a rational? Explain. Please do not use google to answer.

opposite means the sign changes (from positive to negative or vice versa)

since a rational number includes both positives and negatives, then the opposite of a rational is also a rational.

For example:
(3)/(5) is a rational number. Its opposite is
-(3)/(5), which is also a rational number.

Hope this helped!

Answer: YES
