5.2 is rational....5.5 is also a rational number

anonymous · Answer

okay. so 5.3 would be rational too?

zarkon · Answer

yes

zarkon · Answer

5.3=53/10

anonymous · Answer

okay. how about an irrational number? i get confused on that part.

zarkon · Answer

it would be easy to construct an irrational number but I doubt that is what they want since they only want 2 decimal digits.

zarkon · Answer

so use the number $\pi$

find a rational number that when you multiply it by $\pi$ you get a number between 5.2 and 5.5
