Five rational numbers smaller than 4 are: 3, 2, 1, 0, -1.
Explanation:
A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction p/q, where p and q are integers, and q is not zero. Integers themselves are also rational numbers (e.g., 3 can be written as 3/1). Therefore, we can easily find several integers less than 4.
Here are five examples:
- 3: (3/1)
- 2: (2/1)
- 1: (1/1)
- 0: (0/1)
- -1: (-1/1)
We could also include fractions or decimals:
- 3.5: (7/2)
- 2.75: (11/4)
- 1.2: (6/5)
- 0.5: (1/2)
- -0.5: (-1/2)
There are infinitely many rational numbers less than 4. These are just a few examples.
