Question

Which of the following is a rational number but not an integer?

13, -187, -6/7, or 48

Answer 1

-6/7
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction of two integers. A integer is a whole number; a number that is not a fraction. Therefore, -6/7 would be the answer.

Answer 2

-6/7

Explanation:

As,

Integers includes whole numbers, and negative of the whole numbers.

And Rationals includes every fraction, Integers and negative fraction.

So,

-187, 47, and 13 are both Integers and Rationals.

But,

Only -6/7 is a negative fraction included only in rationals and not in Integers
