Are all fractions rational numbers?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
Yes, every fraction is a rational number, but not every rational number needs to be expressed as a fraction in its traditional sense.
Explanation:
- All fractions like 2/3, 5/7, -4/9 are rational numbers
- But rational numbers also include integers (5 = 5/1) and decimals (0.5 = 1/2)
- So while all fractions are rational, rational numbers encompass more than just fractions
