Answer:


\sf Yes,\:( -13)/(18) \textsf{ is a rational number.}

Explanation:

A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers, where the denominator is not equal to zero.
In this case, -13 and 18 are both integers, and the denominator 18 is not equal to zero.

Therefore,
\sf ( -13)/(18) \textsf{ is a rational number.}

Note:

Here is a way to check if a number is rational:

  • If the number can be expressed as a fraction of two integers, where the denominator is not equal to zero, then the number is rational.
  • If the number cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers, then the number is irrational.
