It looks like you've uploaded an image containing
educational content about rational numbers, but there is
no specific problem or question included in the image. The image provides a
definition and explanation of rational numbers, including:
- Definition: A number that can be written as $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are integers and $q \neq 0$.
- Examples of rational numbers: $\frac{3}{7}, -\frac{17}{19}, -3, 0, 4.33, 7.123123123...$
- Classification:
- Positive rational numbers (both numerator and denominator have same sign).
- Negative rational numbers (opposite signs).
- Equivalent rational numbers: $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{a \times m}{b \times m}$ for non-zero integer $m$.
- A hierarchy diagram showing how numbers are classified:
- Numbers → Rational & Irrational
- Rational → Fractions, Integers
- Integers → Whole Numbers → Natural Numbers
- Also includes Negatives and Zero

✔ But — what's missing?
You mentioned "solve the problem", but
there is no explicit question or task in the image provided.
To help you properly, I need to know:
👉 What is the
specific problem you'd like solved? For example:
- Simplify a rational number?
- Find equivalent fractions?
- Determine if a number is rational?
- Classify a given number?
- Solve a word problem involving rational numbers?

📌 Example Problem (for illustration):
Let’s say the hidden task was:
>
"Is $0.123123123...$ a rational number? Justify."
####
✔ Solution:
Yes, $0.123123123...$ is a
rational number because it is a
repeating decimal.
Any repeating decimal can be expressed as a fraction of two integers.
Let $x = 0.\overline{123}$
Then:
$$
1000x = 123.\overline{123}
$$
$$
x = 0.\overline{123}
$$
Subtract:
$$
1000x - x = 123.\overline{123} - 0.\overline{123} \Rightarrow 999x = 123
\Rightarrow x = \frac{123}{999}
$$
Simplify:
$$
\frac{123}{999} = \frac{41}{333}
$$
So, $0.\overline{123} = \frac{41}{333}$ →
Rational number.
