Answer: ratio
(a Rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio of two integers)
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition a Rational number is that number that can be expressed as a fraction:
[tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex]
Where the numerator "a" is an integer and the denominator "b" ([tex]b\neq 0[/tex])
Then, in other words, a Rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio of two integers.
Since the denominator "b" can be [tex]1[/tex], we know that every Integer is a Rational number.
Below are some examples of Rational numbers:
- [tex]6[/tex] is a Rational number, because it can be written as: [tex]\frac{6}{1}[/tex]
- [tex]2.5[/tex] is a Rational number, because it can be written as: [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
- [tex]\sqrt{9}[/tex] is a Rational number, because it can be written as: [tex]3=\frac{3}{1}[/tex]
