The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "(5)/(11) is a rational number" is true or false, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definition of Rational Numbers A rational number is defined as any number that can be expressed in the form of \( \frac{p}{q} \), where: - \( p \) and \( q \) are integers - \( q \neq 0 \) ### Step 2: Identify the Values of \( p \) and \( q \) In the expression \( \frac{5}{11} \): - The numerator \( p = 5 \) - The denominator \( q = 11 \) ### Step 3: Check if \( p \) and \( q \) are Integers Both 5 and 11 are integers. Therefore: - \( p = 5 \) is an integer - \( q = 11 \) is an integer ### Step 4: Check if \( q \) is Not Equal to Zero Since \( q = 11 \), we check: - \( q \neq 0 \) is true because 11 is not equal to zero. ### Step 5: Conclusion Since both conditions for a rational number are satisfied (i.e., \( p \) and \( q \) are integers, and \( q \) is not zero), we conclude that \( \frac{5}{11} \) is a rational number. Thus, the statement "(5)/(11) is a rational number" is **True**. ---
