FAQs on Rational Numbers (Exercise 4.1) RD Sharma Solutions - Mathematics (Maths) Class 7

1. What are rational numbers?
Ans. Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers, where the denominator is not zero. They can be positive, negative, or zero.
2. How do you identify a rational number?
Ans. A number can be identified as a rational number if it can be written in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero.
3. What is the difference between a rational number and an irrational number?
Ans. Rational numbers can be expressed as fractions, whereas irrational numbers cannot be expressed as fractions. Irrational numbers are non-repeating and non-terminating decimals.
4. How can you represent rational numbers on a number line?
Ans. To represent rational numbers on a number line, we can mark the position of the whole number and then divide the gap between two consecutive whole numbers into equal parts. We can then locate the rational number on the number line based on its fractional value.
5. How can you compare rational numbers?
Ans. Rational numbers can be compared by converting them into a common denominator and then comparing the numerators. If the numerators are equal, the rational numbers are equal. If the numerators are not equal, we can compare them based on their size.
