What are rational numbers? Give examples of five positive and five negative rational numbers. Is there any rational number which is neither positive nor negative? Name it.

  1. Rational numbers: The numbers of the form $\frac{\text{p}}{\text{q}}$ where p and q are integers and $\text{q}\neq0$ are called rational numbers.
  2. Positive rational numbers: $\frac{3}{4},\frac{7}{8},\frac{15}{11}$
$\frac{-3}{-5},\frac{-9}{-4}$
  1. Negative rational numbers: $\frac{-5}{7},\frac{-3}{8}$
$\frac{11}{-5},\frac{13}{-7},\frac{-8}{3}$
