When a number is written in decimal form how can you tell if it's a rational number?

We know that a real number is rational if and only if, when expressed as a decimal, it has a finite or recurring expansion.
. . (put a point exactly over 8 and 2).
For example, 5/4 = 1.25, 2/3 = 0.6, 20/7 = 2.857142857 or 20/7 = 2.857142

How can a decimal be a rational number-?
Rational Numbers are any number that can be written in fraction form .This includes integers, terminating decimals, and repeating decimals as well as fractions. A decimal number can be written in rational numbers depending on the place value of the decimal point.
What is a rational number in decimal form?
It is still a rational number.
Can you please give me an example of an irrational number and a rational number?
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.

Why can't irrational number be represented as decimal form?
Any terminating or repeating decimal number can be converted easily into the form of p/q: a ratio of two integers. If it can be written in that form then it is rational.
Is 4.680 a rational number?
A rational number is any number that can be written in the form of one integer over another integer; all rational numbers have a decimal form that either terminates or repeats one, or more, digits forever. 4.680 is a terminating decimal, therefore it is a rational number. 4.680 = 4680/1000 = 468/100 = 117/25 -------------------------- The decimal form of a rational number will repeat forever if the prime factorization of the denominator contains any prime other than 2 or 5.
How do you identify a rational number?
In non-decimal form, it is either a whole number of written as a fraction (a ratio) of two whole numbers. In decimal form, it is either terminating or (after a finite number of digits) recurring.
Can a rational number have a decimal point?
Yes, for example 3/2 can be written as 1.5. All rational numbers have either a decimal expression of finite length or a repetitive pattern, unlike an irrational number, which goes on for ever when written in decimal form, never repeating.
What is 0.7in rational numbers?
0.7 IS is a rational number. It is in the form of a terminating decimal.
How can a decimal be a rational number?
Any number that can be written in fraction form is a rational number. This includes integers , terminating decimals , and repeating decimals as well as fractions. An integer can be written as a fraction simply by giving it a denominator of one so any integer in a rational number.
