An irrational number cannot be written as a fraction or to an exact decimal such as the symbol for pi or the square root of two. A rational number can be written in the form of a fraction or a decimal to an exact value.

What is 6 over 35 as a decimal?

0.1714285714285714285714 etc.. And although it does turn out to be like that, the proper way to right it without repeating is .....________ 0.1714285 Note: Please ignore the dots in front of the line. And the line is to be writing above the number starting with the 7, indicating that that's what repeats. Also keep in mind that just because that it's a repeating decimal doesn't mean it's irrational. It's written as a fraction. Any fraction is rational, so this repeating decimal is rational.

We are, therefore unable to determine what exactly the question is about and so cannot give a proper answer to your question. Please resubmit your question spelling out the symbols as "plus", "minus", "times", "divided by" etc. The answer will depend on which operator is missing between -7 and 8.
