I'm guessing by the `***` you put next to d, that's the answer choice you picked?

anonymous · Answer

yes I think that d is the answer

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

why do you think D

anonymous · Answer

because irrational numbers cannot be written as a ratio or fraction and rational numbers can ?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

correct, by the very definition of what "irrational" means in terms of math

the "ir" part means "not"

`irrational = ir+rational = not+rational`

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

in other words, it's the complete opposite of a rational number
