Answer 2

Repeating post:

Terminating decimals and repeating decimals are RATIONAL, because its easy to predict what number will come next:

0.66666666666666 What will come next? 6 MOST likely.

0.7 ends at 7, so it is easy to rationalize.


Other rational numbers? Whole numbers, (8, 5, 6,) and integers, (-5, 3, -4.)


IF ITS IRRATIONAL, its random and cannot be predicted:

0.56056563542666788632463535....

Answer 3

Can we rationalize this number, Tashy?

Answer 4

....Um idk. Im jus tryna figure out how to do this

Answer 5

Hmm, is that the ACTUAL number?

Answer 6

Or is it rounded?

Answer 7

actual number yes

Answer 8

I don't get this, because, well, it is a rational number. if it was

9.749538556 (random numbers,) then it would be irrational because we can't rationalize what comes next or predict it.

However, here, its a rational number, (hence its a terminating decimal, or thats what you put.)

Answer 9

well is 9.05 irrational?

Answer 10

Nope. If it wasn't cut off and rounded, then it wouldn't be.


if it was 9.044383838282 then yes.

However, it STOPS at a certain number, which is a terminating decimal. THAT belongs in the rational category. No?

Answer 11

9.05 is rational because it can be written as 905 / 100
