Key idea: Rationals on the number line

Every rational number has a place on the number line. Negative rationals on the left of 0, positive on the right. Between any two rationals, you can always find another rational (in fact, infinitely many) — this is called **density**.

Example: between 1/3 and 1/2, the average (1/3 + 1/2)/2 = 5/12 sits in the middle. Between 1/3 and 5/12 there's another rational, and so on, forever.
