NO, the difference between two positive rational numbers is not always positive.
A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction of two different integers and these integers in their fractional form are not equal to zero.
Now, let assume the two positive numbers are 8 and 12. In rational positive
number, the numbers will be: [tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{8}{1}}[/tex] and [tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{12}{1}}[/tex]
The difference between these two rational numbers will not be positive because 12 is a larger number than 8.
[tex]\mathbf{=\dfrac{8}{1}-\dfrac{12}{1}}[/tex]
= -4
Therefore, the difference between two positive rational numbers is not always positive.
