How are rational numbers and Integers similar? How are they different?

Every integer is a rational number, since each integer n can be written in the form n/1. For example 5 = 5/1 and thus 5 is a rational number. However, numbers like 1/2, and -3/7 are also rational, since they are fractions whose numerator and denominator are integers. They are different because Integers include all whole numbers and their negative counterpart e.g. … -4, -3, -2, -1, 0,1, 2, 3, 4,… is a rational number but not an integer. All rational numbers belong to the real numbers. If two numbers are at the same distance from 0 as in the case of 10 and -10 they are called opposites.

Step-by-step explanation:

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
