(i) The quotient of two integers is always an integer.
(ii) Every integer is a rational number.
(iii) Every rational number is an integer.
(iv) Every fraction is a rational number.
(v) Every rational number is a fraction
(vi) If $\frac{a}{b}$ is a rational number and m any integer, then $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{a\times m}{b\times m}$
(vii) Two rational numbers with different numerators cannot be equal.
(viii) 8 can be written as a rational number with any integer as denominator.
(ix) 8 can be written as a rational number with any integer as numerator.
(x) $\frac{2}{3}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{equal}\mathrm{to}\frac{4}{6}.$

Answer 1

(i) False; not necessary
(ii) True; every integer can be expressed in the form of p/q, where q is not zero.
(iii) False; not necessary
(iv) True; every fraction can be expressed in the form of p/q, where q is not zero.
(v) False; not necessary
(vi) True
(vii) False; they can be equal, when simplified further.
(viii) False
(ix) False
(x) True; in the standard form, they are equal.
