Question

Is 4 divided by -8 a rational number

Answer 1

Answer:

It is a rational number

Explanations:

A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction consisiting of integers both at the numerator and the denominator.

4 divided by -8 can be written mathematically as:

4 / -8

Dividing both the numerator and denominator by -4:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{4\div-4}{-8\div-4} \\ \frac{-1}{2} \end{gathered}$

Since 4/ -8 is reducible to -1 /2 which is a fraction of two integers, it is a rational number.
