Question

The difference of two rational numbers is an irrational number. Is the statement true or false?

Answer 1

The difference between the two rational numbers results in a rational number.

A rational number is a number that can be express as a fraction.

Hence the final is FALSE

`\begin{gathered} Forexample2.5\text{ is a rational numner = }(5)/(2) \\ 3.1\text{ is a rational number = }(31)/(10) \\ Therefore,\text{ = }(31)/(10)\text{ - }(5)/(2) \\ =\text{ }\frac{31\text{ - 25}}{10} \\ =\text{ }(6)/(10) \end{gathered}`

So, the difference between two rational numbers results in a rational number.
