5.4 is irrational

anonymous · Answer

A rational number has a decimal representation that terminates or that repeats in a pattern. 

Examples of rational numbers in the range. 
5.3 
5.33333... (e.g. 5 1/3) 
5.35 
5.363636... (e.g. 5 12/33) 
5.4 
5.44444... (i.e. 5 4/9) 
5.49 (i.e. 5 49/100) 

For an irrational number, it's probably easiest to think of a square root that is in that range. 
5.2² = 27.04 
5.5² = 30.25 

So a couple answers that would work are: 
√28 and √29
