The chapter covers how to identify rational numbers, write them in standard form, place them on a number line, compare them, find rational numbers between two given numbers, and perform addit

Key Concepts

A rational number has the form

A rational number has the form p/q, where p and q are co-prime integers and q is not zero. Here p is the numerator and q is the denominator.

A rational number m/n is

A rational number m/n is in standard form when n is positive and m and n have only 1 as their common factor.

A rational number is positive when

A rational number is positive when its numerator and denominator are both positive or both negative. It is negative when its numerator and denominator

Positive rational numbers lie to

Positive rational numbers lie to the right of zero and negative rational numbers lie to the left. To place fractions, the unit interval is divided acc

Positive rational numbers are greater than

Positive rational numbers are greater than zero and greater than negative numbers. Negative rational numbers are less than zero and less than positive
