remember:
\n" ); document.write( "A $\"rational\"$ $\"+number\"$ is a number that can be expressed as a \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"fraction\"$ $\"p%2Fq\"$ where $\"p\"$ and $\"q\"$ are $\"integers\"$ and $\"q\"$ is not equal to $\"0\"$ . \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A rational number $\"p%2Fq\"$ is said to have $\"numerator\"$ $\"+p\"$ and $\"denominator\"$ $\"+q\"$ . \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, if you have $\"-1\"$ over $\"3\"$ , your $\"numerator\"$ $\"+p\"$ is $\"-1\"$ and $\"denominator\"$ $\"+q\"$ is $\"3\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now write it as a fraction $\"p%2Fq\"$ :\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"p%2Fq=-1%2F3\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
