#### Question 1:

Visualise 2.665 on the number line, using successive magnification.

We know that 2.665 lies between 2 and 3. So, we divide the number line into 10 equal parts
and mark each point of division. The first mark on the right of 2 will be 2.1 followed by 2.2 and so on.
The point left of 3 will be 2.9. Now, the magnified view of this will show that 2.665 lies between 2.6 and
2.7. So, our focus will be now 2.6 and 2.7. We divide this again into 10 equal parts. The first part will be
2.61 followed by 2.62 and so on.
We now magnify this again and find that 2.665 lies between 2.66 and 2.67. So, we magnify this portion
and divide it again into 10 equal parts. The first part will represent 2.661, next will be 2.662 and so on.
So, 2.665 will be 5th mark in this subdivision as shown in the figure.

between 5 and 6 into 10 equal parts and use a magnifying glass to visualize $5.3\overline{7}$
$5.3\overline{7}$ lies between 5.37 and 5.38. To visualize $5.3\overline{7}$ more accurately we use a magnifying glass to visualize between 5.377 and 5.378.
Again, we divide the portion between 5.377 and 5.378 into 10 equal parts and visualize more closely to represent
$5.3\overline{7}$ as given in the figure. This is located between 5.3778 and 5.3777.

$\sqrt{2}$ is an irrational number.

The decimal expansion of an irrational number neither terminates nor repeats after finitely many digits.

Hence, the decimal expansion of $\sqrt{2}$ is non-terminating and non-repeating.

#### Question 4:

The value of 1.999. in the form of $\frac{m}{n}$, where m and n are integers and n ≠ 0, is _______.

Hence, the value of 1.999... in the form of $\frac{m}{n}$, where and are integers and n ≠ 0, is $\overline{)\frac{2}{1}}$.

#### Question 5:

Every recurring decimal is a _________ number.

The decimal expansion of a rational number either terminates after finitely many digits or ends with a repeating sequence.

Hence, every recurring decimal is a rational number.

#### Question 6:

π is an _______ number.

The decimal expansion of π neither terminates nor repeats after finitely many digits.

Therefore, it is an irrational number.

Hence, π is an irrational number.

#### Question 7:

The product of a non-zero rational number with an irrational number is always an ________ number.

The product of a non-zero rational number with an irrational number always results in an irrational number.

Hence, the product of a non-zero rational number with an irrational number is always an irrational number.

#### Question 8:

The simplest form of $1.\overline{)6}$ is _______.

Hence, the simplest form of $1.\overline{)6}$ is $\overline{)\frac{5}{3}}$.

#### Question 9:

$0.\overline{)3}+0.\overline{)4}$ is equal to _________.

Hence, $0.\overline{)3}+0.\overline{)4}$ is equal to $\overline{)\frac{7}{9}}$.

#### Question 10:

The sum of a rational number and an irrational number is ________ number.

The sum of a rational number and an irrational number always results in an irrational number.

Hence, the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is an irrational number.

#### Question 11:

Every real number is either ________ or _______ number.

The real number includes all the rational as well as irrational numbers.

Hence, every real number is either rational or irrational number.

#### Question 1:

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

Yes, zero is a rational number because it is either terminating or non-terminating so we can write in the form of , where p and q are natural numbers and q is not equal to zero.

So,

Therefore,

#### Question 2:

Find five rational numbers between 1 and 2.

We need to find 5 rational numbers between 1 and 2.

Consider,

And

So, five rational numbers between will be .
Hence 5 rational numbers between 1
and 2
are: OR .

#### Question 3:

Find six rational numbers between 3 and 4.

We need to find 6 rational numbers between 3 and 4.

Consider,

And

So, six rational numbers between  will be .
Hence 6 rational numbers between 3 and 4 are .

#### Question 4:

Find five rational numbers between $\frac{3}{5}$ and $\frac{4}{5}$.

We need to find 5 rational numbers betweenand .

Since, LCM of denominators

So, consider

And,

Hence 5 rational numbers between  and are: OR

#### Question 5:

Are the following statements true or false? Give reasons for your answer.
(i) Every whole number is a natural number.
(ii) Every integer is a rational number.
(iii) Every rational number is an integer.
(iv) Every natural number is a whole number.
(v) Every integer is a whole number.
(vi) Every rational number is a whole number.

(i) False, because whole numbers start from zero and natural numbers start from one

(ii) True, because it can be written in the form of a fraction with denominator 1

(iii) False, rational numbers are represented in the form of fractions. Integers can be represented in the form of fractions but all fractions are not integers. for example: $\frac{3}{4}$ is a rational number but not an integer.

(iv) True, because natural numbers belong to whole numbers

(v) False, because set of whole numbers contains only zero and set of positive integers, whereas set of integers is the collection of zero and all positive and negative integers.

(vi) False, because rational numbers include fractions but set of whole number does not include fractions.
