HOTS
❖A fraction is always a rational number
whereas a rational number may or may not
be a fraction.
❖
−2 2
or are not fractions
3 −3
Why?
Fractions are part of a whole. They are of the
form a/b, where a and b belong to Whole
Numbers.
ABSOLUTE VALUE OF A RATIONAL NUMBER
❖Absolute value of a rational number is its
numerical value with no regards to its sign.
❖ 3 3
= ,

− =
7 7
STANDARD FORM
• A rational number pis said to be in
standard form if q
(i) The denominator q is positive
(ii) p and q have no common factor other than
1 i.e. they are co-primes.
12 2
=
−18 −3
To write in standard form we make
denominator as positive.
2 ( −1) −2
=
−3 ( −1) 3
Properties of Rational Numbers
•
Closure Property
Commutative Property
Associative Property
Associative Property for Multiplication and
Division
DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY OF
MULTIPLICATION OVER ADDITION

Additive inverse
Additive Identity
• Additive Identity is that number when
added to a rational number, the sum is the
rational number itself.
• p/q + 0= 0 + p/q = p/q
Multiplicative inverse
