What do you think it is?

TheyWantNiah · Answer

a rational number

Ferrari · Answer

Well...

It is not an integer. Integers are "whole numbers."

A natural number? I don't even know what that is.

It is not a whole number.

Rational numbers are decimals (hence "ratio" in the name), so rational numbers are correct.
