What
are
Ra2onal
Numbers?



Standard:
7.N.1

How
can
you
determine
an
equivalent
decimal
or
frac8on?

If
you
have
the
frac2on
and
would
like
to
find
the
decimal,
you

can
divide
or
mul2ply
–
depending
on
whether
the
denominator

can
be
mul2plied
by
a
whole
number
to
get
a
product
of
100
(to

find
an
equivalent
frac2on
with
a
denominator
of
100).



For
example,
for
½,
the
denominator,
2,
can
be
mul2plied
by
50

to
 get
 100.
 Therefore,
 ½
 =
 50/100
 and
 fi\y
 hundredths
 =
 0.50,

which
is
the
same
value
as
0.5.



For
⅛,
however,
you
cannot
so
easily
find
an
equivalent
frac2on

with
a
denominator
of
100.
In
this
case
you
can
divide
to
find
the

quo2ent:
1
÷
8.
This
gives
you
0.125.
Can
you
do
the
division?


 Determine
the
decimal
form
of
6/8.

You
 should
 always
 check
 to
 see
 whether
 a
 frac2on
 can
 be

simplified…



You
can
do
this
by
checking
for
a
GCF greater
than
1.
So…
What’s

the
GCF
of
6
and
8?



The
GCF
is
2.
Therefore,
you
can
and
should
simplify the
frac2on,

6/8,
by
dividing
both
denominator
and
numerator
by
2.



This
means
that
6/8
=
¾,
which
makes
finding
the
decimal
easier,

because
4
is
a
factor of
100.



4
×
25
=
100
and
3
×
25
=
75.
Therefore,
¾
=
75/100
=
0.75.


 Simplify
these
frac2ons:

1.  90/200

2.  45/75

3.  39/192

4.  147/686

5.  143/341

 Termina2ng
and
Repea2ng
Decimals



Find
the
decimal
equivalents
of
⅜
and
⅔.
What
do
you
no2ce?



⅜
=
0.375
and
⅔
=
0.666…
=
0.

⅜
only
has
three
decimal
places
and
stops
in
the
thousandths.

⅜
is
a
termina3ng decimal.


⅔
goes
on
and
on
and
on
and
on…


⅔
is
a
repea3ng
decimal.



Following
 this
 thought,
 any
 decimal
 that
 repeats
 and
 or


terminates
 has
 an
 equivalent
 frac2on
 and
 a
 frac2on
 must
 have

either
an
equivalent
repea2ng
or
termina2ng
decimal.



 What
is
a
Ra2onal
Number?


A
ra3onal number
is
any
number
that
can
be
wrihen
as
a
frac2on;
p/q
where

p
and
q
are
integers
and
q
is
not
equal
to
0.


Therefore,
all
repea2ng
and
or
termina2ng
decimals
are
ra2onal
numbers.


Wait!
What
are
integers?!

An
 integer
 is
 a
 number
 that
 is
 a
 posi2ve
 whole
 number,
 nega2ve
 whole

number,
or
zero.
When
you
list
integers
in
ascending
order,
they
look
like
this:

…‐3,
‐2,
‐1,
0,
1,
2,
3,…


Also,
note
that
there
is
also
a
set
of
numbers
called
natural numbers.
These

are
 some2mes
 called
 coun2ng
 numbers
 and
 include
 all
 posi2ve
 whole

numbers
(1,
2,
3,
4,
5,…).



And
ALL
of
the
above
kinds
of
numbers
(natural,
whole,
integers,
ra2onal)
are

called
real
numbers.

 What’s
a
Ra2onal
Number?!

A
 ra3onal  number
 is
 any
 number
 that
 can
 be
 wrihen
 as
 a

frac2on;
p/q
where
p
and
q
are
integers
and
q
is
not
equal
to
0.



What
kinds
of
decimal
number
does
this
include?


All repea3ng and or termina3ng decimal numbers.



What
kind
of
decimal
number
would
not
be
a
ra2onal
number?


Any decimal is neither termina3ng or repea3ng!


A
number
that
is
not
ra2onal
is
called irra3onal. 
 DON’T
FORGET!

All
integers
can
be
wrihen
as
frac2ons!


Therefore,
all
integers
are
also
ra2onal
numbers.


For
example,
7
=
7/1.


And
9
=
9/1.

Is
13
a
ra2onal
number?

Yes!
Because
13
=
13/1.

Tell
whether
the
number
is
ra2onal
or

1.  4/8
 is
 ra2onal,
 because
 it
 is
 a
 frac2on
 and
 a
 termina2ng

decimal.


2.  5/8
 is
 ra2onal,
 because
 it
 is
 a
 frac2on
 and
 a
 termina2ng

decimal.



3.  2/9
 is
 ra2onal,
 because
 it
 is
 a
 frac2on
 and
 a
 repea2ng

decimal.


4.  0.111…
 is
 the
 same
 as
 
 
 
 and
 is
 ra2onal,
 because
 it
 is
 a

repea2ng
decimal.


5.
 
 
3.1264032934341…
is

because
it

neither
repeats
