Question

Which of the following are rational numbers and which are not?

$\frac{-7}{-25}$

Answer 1

A rational number is defined as a number that can be expressed in the form $\frac{\mathrm{p}}{\mathrm{q}}$ where $\mathrm{p}$ (numerator) and $\mathrm{q}$ (denominator) are integers $(\mathrm{q}\ne 0)$.

Here, $\frac{-7}{-25}=\frac{7}{25}$ and $\mathrm{p}=7,\mathrm{q}=25$.

Hence, $\frac{-7}{-25}$ is a Rational Number.
