Ok, for an irrational number, the number has to have an infinite amount of numbers, like this: 5.482043508723984570289347598... and so on.

Answer 25

For a rational number, it can be like 5.3, or 5.4. It can also be a repeating number, like 5.44444444444444... and so on.

No

Answer 31

No, that would be rational. :)

Answer 32

I quit lol im sooo confused

Answer 35

???? lol ok whats the irrational one ??

Answer 36

answer.com says

For the rational number, it's easy, just pick a number between the two given numbers:

5.4

For the irrational number, it will be a little trickier. I'll start with √2 and see what I need to multiply it by to get in the ballpark:

√2 ≈ 1.414

Multiplying it by 4.5 we get:

4.5√2 ≈ 6.3640 (too high), let's try 4.0
4√2 ≈ 5.6569 (still too high, let's try 3.8
3.8√2 ≈ 5.3740 That is an irrational value in the range that you want.

Answer 37

thank you soo much I get it a lot better :) so 5.3 is irrational???

Answer 38

yes
