Question

Is the following number rational or irrational?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rational

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is any integer, fraction, terminating decimal, or repeating decimal.

Decimal form: − 1.08 3

3 repeats itself, so it's rational.

Answer 2

Answer: Rational

This is because the number is in the form P/Q where P and Q are integers

We have P = -13 and Q = 12.

You can think of "rational" as in "ratio" which is very closely tied to fractions. Any rational number is a fraction of two integers. The denominator can never be zero.
