Question

Anna says that 5 1/3 is not a rational number because it’s not in the fraction form of a/b. Do you agree? plsss help

Answer 1

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is a number that can be written in the form a/b, where a and b are integers. A rational number does not have to be written in the form a/b. I just needs to be able to be written in that form.

Can 5 1/3 be written as a fraction of integers?

5 1/3 = 5 + 1/3 = 15/3 + 1/3 = 16/3

5 1/3 = 16/3

16/3 is in the form a/b, where a and b are integers.

Since 5 1/3 can be written as a fraction of integers, it is rational.

Anna is incorrect.
