What can you conclude about rational numbers with denominators that are prime?

There is nothing that you can conclude.They could be recurring decimals or terminating decimals [as rational numbers, there is no other form].They may or may not be in their simplified or reduced form: for example 14/7 is a rational number with a prime denominator but it can be simplified.


Is a decimal an irrational or rational number?

A decimal can be both rational and irrational. Rational decimals are 0.25 , 0.234234234..., because they can be converted to a fraction. However, irrational decimals , such as pi = 3.141592.... cannot be converted to a equal fraction. A rational decimal are where the digits regularly repeat, and go to infinity, such as 0.234234234... However, irrational decimals, such as pi = 3.141592... were the digits go to infinity but there is no regular repetition of the numbers. Some other irrational decimals are the square roots of prime numbers. ;_ sqrt(2) = 1.414213562... sqrt(3) = 1.732050808... sqrt(5) = 2.236067978....

Why rational numbers were required?

First of all counting numbers (positive integers) are rational numbers so without rational numbers there would be no counting. You could not equitably share one item between two or more people without fractions (rational numbers). Everything does not come in whole numbers - there are times when you need half-a-day, or 2.5 teaspoons, etc.
