6. Course 3 2-1 Rational Numbers A rational number is any number that can be written as a fraction, where n and d are integers and d  0. n d

7. Course 3 2-1 Rational Numbers The goal of simplifying fractions is to make the numerator and the denominator relatively prime. Relatively prime numbers have no common factors other than 1.

8. Course 3 2-1 Rational Numbers You can often simplify fractions by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the same nonzero integer. You can simplify the fraction to by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3. 12 of the 15 boxes are shaded. 4 of the 5 boxes are shaded. The same total area is shaded. 12 15 4 5 = 12 15 4 5

13. Course 3 2-1 Rational Numbers Decimals that terminate or repeat are rational numbers. To write a terminating decimal as a fraction, identify the place value of the digit farthest to the right. Then write all of the digits after the decimal point as the numerator with the place value as the denominator.
