The question is to determine whether this number is an integer, rational number, irrational number, prime number, real number (select all that apply) the number is .555... I selected irrational and real since it's a non-terminating decimal and real because all rational and irrational numbers are real. It said I was wrong. Where did I go wrong? Or did I just miss one? THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think that it is prime too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because prime is where only that number can go into it. im pretty sure that .55 is the only nuumber that can multiply into it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*.555

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Aren't prime numbers only whole numbers? It says in my book, whole numbers greater than 1...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm. u are right. prime numbers are where only that number and one can multiply into it. so .555 is not prime. i think that its only irrational

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll try it again and I'll let you know what the outcome is. Thanks so much. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. and anytime :)

I think there's just an issue with Web Assign (the program that I use for homework) because there's nothing else that it could be. Not prime, not rational, not an integer. Perhaps a glitch. Let's hope!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im pretty sure that it is only a n irrational number :) probobly is just a glitch

OpenStudy (anonymous):

..or is it an integer? Do integers have to be whole?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no idea. ill look it up for u :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't worry, I've looked it up and yes, they do. *sigh* I guess I have to e-mail my prof. Thanks again. :) You're awesome

OpenStudy (anonymous):
