Rational Numbers are those that can be written as a simple fraction or ratio. When a whole number can be written as a simple fraction it is also known as a “ratio” or a rational fraction. A rational number is any whole number, fraction, mixed number or decimal, including their negative counterparts. An example of a rational number is 1.5. It is rational because it can be turned into a simple rational fraction of 3/2. 3/2 = 1.5
