Answer 11

See, a rational number is anything that can be written completely as a ratio in numbers (no symbols). If I can do it as a ratio, it is rational. It includes all integers, so it includes representations of 0.

\(0.30030033 = \dfrac{0.30030033}{1}= \dfrac{30030033}{100000000}\) so a ratio, and so on.

The 17 and 3/4 is a mixed number, but it can be made to an "improper" fraction and therefore a ratio.

Answer 12

I'd go with A since it looks like 0.3003003300333003333.... whichis not rationsl. do any of the numbers have ANYTHING else ?

Answer 13

No no numbers have anything else

Answer 14

I say NONE

Answer 15

Answer 16

Everthing there, as shown, could be written as a rational number.

Answer 17

If it was 99/0, that would not be rational. If \(e\), \(i\), or \(\pi\) was there, it would not be rational.

Answer 18

A has three dots written after it

Answer 19

AH HA! See, that means it continues!

Answer 20

If it continues it is not rational.

Answer 21
