a) Every rational number is either a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal.
Example:
(b) Two rational number a/b and c/d are equal if and only if a x d=b x c.
Example:
(c) The above property also means that a/b=c/d if and only if
d) For any three rational numbers p, q and r, the following order properties are true:
- Either p > q or q > p or p = q
- If p > q and q > r, then p > r
- If p > q, then p + r > q + r
- If p > q and r > 0, then pr > qr
