Question

State whether the following statement is true or false. Give reasons for your answers.

Every integer is a rational number.

Options

• True

• False

Answer 1

The given statement is True.

Reason:

A rational number is defined as any number that can be expressed in the form `p/q`, where p and q are integers, and q is not zero. Every integer x can be written as `x/1`, which is in the form `p/q`. Therefore, all integers are rational numbers.
