Rattional numbers are numbers gotten by dividing two integers. Remember that an integer is a whole number. It doesn't contain a fraction.

Examples of 2 rational numbers are 3/2 and 7/4

if we multiply 3/2 by 7/4, the result would be

3/2 * 7/4 = 21/8

if we divide 3/2 by 7/4,we can hold 3/2 and flip 7/4

if we flip 7/4, it becomes 4/7 and the division sign would change to multiplication. it becomes

3/2 * 4/7 = 12/14 = 6/7
