if b is not equal to 0 how can we showthat a by b is a rational number
A rational number can be written in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero. Rational numbers have their decimal expansions as either terminating or non-terminating recurring.
Example:
1.5 is a rational number because 1.5=3/2
(it can be written as a fraction)
some other examples are 5/4, 2/3 , 4/1
