Ex 1.1 Class 9 Maths Question 1.
Is zero a rational number? Can you write it in the form pq,where p and q are integers and q ≠0?
Solution:
Yes, zero is a rational number it can be written in the form pq.
0 = 01 = 02 = 03 etc. denominator q can also be taken as negative integer.

Ex 1.1 Class 9 Maths Question 2.
Find six rational numbers between 3 and 4.
Solution:
Let q_i be the rational number between 3
and 4, where j = 1 to 6.
∴ Six rational numbers are as follows:

Thus, the six rational numbers between 3 and 4 are

Ex 1.1 Class 9 Maths Question 3.
Find five rational numbers between 35 and 45.
Solution:
Since, we need to find five rational numbers, therefore, multiply numerator and denominator by 6.

Ex 1.1 Class 9 Maths Question 4.
State whether the following statements are true or false. Give reasons for your answers.
(i) Every natural number is a whole number.
(ii) Every integer is a whole number.
(iii) Every rational number is a whole number.
Solution:
(i) True
∵ The collection of all natural numbers and 0 is called whole numbers.
(ii) False
∵ Negative integers are not whole numbers.
(iii) False
∵ Rational numbers are of the form p/q, q ≠ 0 and q does not divide p completely that are not whole numbers.
