Question

A rational number is an integer. always sometimes never

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is sometimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Integer: An integer is known as whole number which can be positive, negative, or zero.

For example -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5 etc.

A rational number is the numbers which can be written in the form of p/q. where p and q can be any integer and q≠0.

For example:

8 is a rational number which can be written as: 8/1

Here 8 is an integer and 1 is also an integer.

1.5 is a rational number which can be written as: 3/2 where 3 and 2 both are integers.

Now consider the above examples:

Here the rational number 8 is an integer, but the rational number 1.5 is not an integer as 1.5 is not a whole number.

So we can say that A rational number is an integer sometimes not always.

Hence, the correct answer is sometimes.
