Is 7.11 rational or irrational?
A number with a finite number of decimal digits is always rational. (If the number of decimal digits is infinite, the number is rational only if there is a repeating pattern.)
Is an ongoing decimal a rational no. or irrational noex. 2.586.....?
If the decimal is rational if it continues in a pattern. ex 2.586586586586586.... It is irrational if it continues forever without a pattern. ex 2.586943732434006843...
Is decimal a rational number?
It depends. A terminating decimal is a rational number. A decimal which, after a finite number of places, becomes a repeating (or recurrent) decimal is also a rational number. A decimal that is not terminating, nor [eventually] settles into a recurring pattern is not a rational number. Note that the decimal need not become recurring immediately.
Is a number with an unending decimal expansion irrational?
No. If the decimal expansion falls into a repeating pattern (however long) then the number is rational. For example, 0.33... is the rational number 1/3. or 0.04142857142857... where the pattern 142857 continues forever is the rational number 29/700.
How is a decimal a rational number?
A decimal is a rational number if:* It terminates - i.e., it has a finite number of decimal digits. * It doesn't terminate, but it repeats the same pattern over and over - possibly after a finite number of digits that are not included in the pattern. For example, 0.145145145145..., or 3.125252525...
Is 833 as a repeating decimal?
.833 IS a repeating decimal. This is a rational number as well as it has a repetitive pattern.
Is 12 5 a rational of irrational?
It is a rational number. An irrational number is a decimal that is infinite and has no repition or pattern.
What is the difference between decimal and rational number?
A number x is said to be rational if it can be expressed as the ratio p/q where p and q are integers, and q is not 0. For each rational number there is an equivalent decimal representation which is either a terminating decimal or one that has an infinitely recurring pattern. A decimal number which is infinite but without any recurring pattern is an irrational number.Thus rational numbers form a subset of decimal numbers.
Is 0.50550555 a rational number?
It depends on if it is continued or not. A terminal decimal is always rational (such as 0.5) If it has a repeating pattern, its also rational (0.3333333333333333). If you mean 0.50550555055550555550555555 etc.) this is not rational.
Is 0737373 rational irrational both rational and irrational or neither rational?
It is rational.A number cannot be both rational and irrational.
Is a repeating decimal rational or irrational?
A repeating decimal is rational.
If it doesn if a decimal doesn't terminate or repeat is it still a rational number or not?
No, if a decimal does not terminate or repeat, it is not a rational number. Rational numbers can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, and their decimal representation either terminates or repeats after a certain point. Decimals that do not have a pattern and continue indefinitely are considered irrational numbers.
