Question
Mark says that the number 2 is a rational number
because he can write it as the fraction ?
Is Mark correct? Why or why not?

Answer :

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is in the form p/q where p and q are both integers and the denominator q is not equal to zero. This means that the set of all real numbers are rational numbers.

Since q can be any integer apart from zero, it means that all integers are rational numbers i.e for q = 1.

Hence 2 which can be written as fraction as 2/1 is a rational number since the denominator (q = 1) is a non zero number
