Question

Write each of the following integers as a rational number. Write the numerator and the denominator in each case.

(i) 5
(ii) −3
(iii) 1
(iv) 0
(v) −23

Answer 1

(i) 5
The rational number will be $\frac{5}{1}$.
Numerator = 5
Denominator = 1

(ii) -3
The rational number will be $\frac{-3}{1}$.
Numerator = -3
Denominator = 1

(iii)1
The rational number will be $\frac{1}{1}$.
Numerator = 1
Denominator = 1

(iv) 0
The rational number will be $\frac{0}{1}$.
Numerator =0
Denominator = 1

(v) -23
The rational number will be $\frac{-23}{1}$.
Numerator = -23
Denominator = 1
