Question

How can you compare rational and irrational numbers? why might you want to?

Answer 1

The answers are the same because irrational numbers follow the same order whether they are plotted on a number line or approximated as rational numbers.

Answer 2

An irrational number is a number which cannot be expressed in a ratio of two integers. In rational numbers, both numerator and denominator are whole numbers, where the denominator is not equal to zero.
