When zero is a rational number then it can be written in the form p/q as:0 = 0/1, where p = 0 and q = 1According to the question, the value of q in p/q can be any number, for example: 0/10, 0/20, 0/30, etc.

Is zero a rational number ? Can you write it in the form p q , where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0 ?

Simplify : (i) 2^1/3.2 ^1/5

Find : (i) 9^3/2

Find : (i) underoot of 64

Rationalise the denominators each of the following :

Represent √9.3 on the number line.

Recall, π is defined as the ratio of the circumference (say c) of a circle to its diameter (say d). That is, π = c/d . This seems to contradict the fact that π is irrational. How will you resolve this contradiction ?
