Question

Select two numbers that fit the following description.

Rational numbers that are not integers
A : 1.5

B : 8/1

C: 2/5

D: -1

Answer 1

A and C

Explanation:

Rational numbers can be written in the form
`(integer)/(integer)`

Both A and C can be written in this form, but they are not integers.

1.5 =
`(3)/(2)`

Integers are all the whole numbers and their opposites.

0,1,2,3...

or ...-3,-2,-1 0,1,2,3...

`(8)/(1)` can be written as 8 and -1 is an integer.
