Question

The Tonga Trench is at an elevation of 35,702 feet below sea level. The South Sandwich Trench is at an elevation of 23,737 feet below the sea level. The elevation of Tonga Trench can be expressed as a rational number as -------- feet. The elevation of the South Sandwich Trench can be expressed as a rational number ----------- feet. NextReset

Answer 1

Both elevations or numbers are already expressed as a rational number. This is because a rational number is defined as a number that can be expressed as a quotient or fraction of two numbers:

p / q

Since in this case, q may be equal to 1, then both are rational numbers.
