Question

why is 5 a rational number?

Answer 1

Every integer is a rational number, since each integer n can be written in the form n/1. For example 5 = 5/1 and thus 5 is a rational number.  i hope this helps you

Answer 2

A rational number is any number that can be written as a ratio of two integers (hence the name!). In other words, a number is rational if we can write it as a fraction where the numerator and denominator are both integers.

5 is a rational number because it can be expressed as the quotient of two integers: 5÷ 1
