Is the following number rational or irrational? -3+π
enyata [817]

Answer:

B, irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that π is irrational, since it can not be written as a division between  natural numbers (a sub class of Real numbers called N), it's value is 3,1415(a whole bunch of decimals after this)

If you remove the decimal part of π by subtracting the integer part of it, that is the number 3. the result will still being and irrational number

Since π= 3(the rational part) +0,1415... (the irrational part)

The resut of π-=3= 0,1415...
