My name is Kellie.
I am a student at Faulkner University in Montgomery. I have two Math questions.
- Is it possible to write pi as a fraction?
- Is it possible to write the square root of 2 as a fraction.. Explain why?
Hi Kellie,
- Pi is not a rational number. This means that you cannot express pi as the ratio of two integers. In our database there is a note by Claude and Penny called Pi that has more information on this question.
- If you search in the Quandaries and Queries database for the keyword irrational you will find a note called Root 17 is Irrational that will help answer your question
Cheers,
Harley
