- Definition: Numbers that can be expressed as p/q where q ≠ 0
- Properties: Closure, commutativity, associativity, distributive property
- Operations: Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division of rational numbers
- Representation: On number line and between two rational numbers
Example Problem:
Find five rational numbers between 1/2 and 2/3.
