its is not a repeating decimal and it is a rational number because a rational number is a number that does not have repeating decimal but a irrational number does have repeating decimal

Answer 2

Answer:

The given number is rational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find whether 9.373 is a repeating decimal.

Since we cannot see a bar on the digits after decimal, so our given number is not a repeating decimal.

We know that a number is rational number, when it can be represented as a fraction.

We can represent our given number as a fraction by multiplying and dividing by 1000 as:

$9.373\times \frac{1000}{1000}=\frac{9373}{1000}$

Therefore, our given number is a rational number.
