Yes.Any repeating set of decimals is rational, because it is possible (and very easy) to create any such pattern using fractions.

For example, to create the number 0.163163163163.... , it is represented as 163/999.

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 0737373 rational irrational both rational and irrational or neither rational?

It is rational.A number cannot be both rational and irrational.


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 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.
