Answer:
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction (ratio). This includes whole numbers, square roots that can be solved evenly, negatives, decimals, and repeating decimals that can be solved with a fraction.
- [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ↔ .5
- 5 ↔ 5.0
- [tex]\sqrt{4}[/tex] ↔ 2.0
- -13 ↔ -13.0
- 0.38462... ([tex]\frac{5}{13}[/tex])
An irrational number is a number that is NOT rational. It's the complete opposite!
- π ↔ 3.14159
- .13133133...
- [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex] ↔ 0.86603...
- -[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] ↔ -2.23607...
- [tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] ↔ 2.23607...
Hope this helps!!!
