Question

Write five rational numbers greater than – 2 ?

Answer 1

Hint: All the real numbers which can be represent in the form of \[\dfrac{p}{q}\] where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0 are rational numbers. All the integers are rational numbers. In the given question we have to list down 5 rational numbers which is greater than – 2 .

Complete step by step solution:
We know that all the integers are also rational numbers.
Rational numbers include integers and all the fractions. To solve the question, we just can write 5 integers which is greater than – 2
So we can write 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are the rational numbers which are greater than – 2.
We can also list 5 fractions which are greater than – 2 because we know that fractions are also rational numbers.
If we represent all the numbers in a number line the greater number will always come right to the smaller number.

Note: All the rational numbers and irrational numbers together form real numbers. So the real number is the super set of rational numbers and irrational numbers. We can say that the numbers which can be represented in a number line are called real numbers. Which can not be represented in a number line is called imaginary number. The union set of real and imaginary numbers is called a complex number which can be written as a + ib.
