Question: what is the difference between a fraction and a rational number?
Answer: A fraction is any number of the form a/b where both “a” and “b” are whole numbers and b≠0. On the other hand, a rational number is a number which is in the form of p/q where both “p” and “q” are integers and q≠0. ... A rational number can also be written in the form of a/b, where b is not 0 and a & b are integers.
