MathBot Answer:

A rational number is a number that is the ratio of two integers.

The numbers \(\frac{2}{3}\), \(-\frac{3}{5}\), and \(-1\) are rational numbers.

The number \(\sqrt{2}\) is not rational because it can be shown that there are no integers \(m\) and \(n\)such that \(\frac{m^2}{n^2} = 2\).
