Answer: The correct statement is it can always be written as a fraction.
Step-by-step explanation:
Rational numbers are defined as the numbers that is expressed in the form of a fraction that is [tex]\frac{p}{q}[/tex] where, 'p' and 'q' are two integers and [tex]q\neq 0[/tex]
We always write final answer of any operation of two rational numbers in the exact form instead of approximate form. The fraction is an exact form while decimals are approximate form. Â
So, when we add two rational numbers then the final answer after simplification should be in the fractional form.
For Example: Addition of [tex]\frac{1}{3}\text{ and }\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{3}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{1}[/tex]
Hence, the correct statement is it can always be written as a fraction.
