Sonia is creating a visual diagram to show the relationship between rational numbers and whole numbers. She draws it to show that some whole numbers are rational numbers and some are not. Is this correct? Explain why or why not

Question

All numbers are rational right?

Answer 1

no. all whole numbers are rational (fractions with denominator=1, as in 2/1, 4/1, etc.)

There are lots of numbers that are not rational (irrational), like π, √3, ∛5, etc. They cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers.
