Q:

is the number /2500 rational or irrational? explain

Accepted Solution

A:
2500 is rational, because it can be turned into a fraction. A rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio. That means it can be written as a fraction, in which both the numerator (the number on top) and the denominator (the number on the bottom) are whole numbers. While a irrational number can be written as a decimal, but not as a fraction, and has endless non-repeating digits to the right of the decimal point.
Ex of rational: The number 8 is a rational number because it can be written as the fraction 8/1.
Ex of irrational: Ο€ = 3.141592…
