Mukhtar,
Rationalize is trying to find rational number which is "close enough"
to the supplied number. If none is found the original number is
returned.
To force Rationalize to always return rational number use second
argument
to Rationalize
In[2]:=
(Rationalize[#1, 0] & )[
Chop[Expand[Normal[Series[0.71*p*x + (1/3)*x^2 - 4,
{x, 1, 1}]]]]]
Out[2]=
-(13/3) + (2*x)/3 + (71*p*x)/100
