Answer:

No, the answer (1.77777777778) would be irrational.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is a number that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers. A number that cannot be expressed that way is irrational. For example, one third in decimal form is 0.33333333333333 (the threes go on forever).

So if we were to solve this problem, we would end up with 1.77777777778

-16/-9 = 1.77777777778

We can now confirm that this number is irrational based on our knowledge of rational numbers and numbers.

Rational number: A number   is said to be rational, if it is in the form   of p/q. Where p and q are integer and   denominator is not equal to 0.The decimal expansion of rational numbers may terminate or become periodic.

Irrational   number: A number is irrational if it cannot   be expressed be expressed by dividing two   integers. The decimal expansion of   Irrational numbers are neither terminate nor   periodic.

Now consider the provided statement "Negative numbers are integers."

The statement is incorrect as all negative numbers are not integers they might be rational number or irrational numbers.
