C.
A fraction with a denominator of 0 is undefined because you cannot divide by zero. So it is not a number at all.
State if each number is rational, irrational, or not a real number.

Do Now
• List 3 different Rational Numbers. The numbers must be greater than 1 and less than 2.
• List 3 different Irrational Numbers. The numbers must be greater than 1 and less then 2.
Comparing Rational and Irrational Numbers
• When comparing different forms of rational and irrational numbers, convert the numbers to the same form.
Compare -3 and -3.571 (convert -3 to -3.428571…
-3.428571… > -3.571

Ordering Rational and Irrational Numbers
• To order rational and irrational numbers, convert all of the numbers to the same form.
• You can also find the approximate locations of rational and irrational numbers on a number line.
Example• Order these numbers from least to
greatest. ¹/₄, 75%, .04, 10%, ⁹/₇
¹/₄ becomes 0.2575% becomes 0.750.04 stays 0.0410% becomes 0.10
⁹/₇ becomes 1.2857142…
Answer: 0.04, 10%, ¹/₄, 75%, ⁹/₇
