Answer:

Rational

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a and b are rational, a - b has to be rational because we are not dividing them. 2 rational numbers subtracted from each other is always a rational number.

Example: 34 (rational) 23 (rational)

34 - 23 = 11 (rational)

IrinaVladis [17]
Out of your $67 for the day, $40 of it goes to the rental before you even drive it out of the lot.  That leaves you $27 a day for mileage.

$27 / $0.18 per mile = <u>150 miles</u> per day, tops.
