Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the premise (p) and conclusion (q)

The premise is that the number is of type 'rational', and the conclusion is that the number is of type 'irrational'.

Step 2: Translate the relationship

Based on the relationship 'no', the translated statement is: If a number is rational, then it is never irrational.

Step 3: Apply logical negation where necessary

The translation incorporates logical negation based on the relationship type.

Step 4: Consider the nature of the sets

The translation considers the hierarchical and exclusive nature of the sets of numbers involved.

Final Answer: If a number is rational, then it is never irrational.
