Question

Is 3 1/4 a rational or irrational number?

Answer 1

Answer:

It is a rational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

A number is only irrational if it has a decimal that never ends and doesn't have a pattern. So a number like Pi (3.141592653589...) is irrational while a number like 1/3 (0.33333333...) is rational.

Answer 2

Hi :)

Below is the difference between rational & irrational numbers

______________

RATIONAL

• A number that can be expressed in $\sf{\dfrac{p}{q}}$ form, where $\large\boldsymbol{q\ne0}$

Evidently,

• An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed in $\sf{\dfrac{p}{q}}$ form

Let's test the given number, $\boldsymbol{3\dfrac{1}{4}}$

Well isn't it already in $\sf{\dfrac{p}{q}}$ form? It is.

Thus

$\longrightarrow\darkblue\boldsymbol{3\dfrac{1}{4}\:is\:rational}$
