Are irrational numbers real numbers?
A mathematical approach:Yes they are. Irrational numbers are very real, for example - the square root of two - which is irrational (but can be plotted in a number line without difficulty with a compass and straight edge). All numbers you can think of (even if you cant white them out) are real numbers.They are real, but they can't be expressed as fractions.A philosophical approach:According to ME, there should be a limit. If there is a number which is not ending, we can't say that it is a number because it has not ended yet, its not a complete number. That's why, any number which is not ending is not a number, so irrational numbers and some rational numbers are not numbers and we can't plot them on real line, no matter how much depth we are into it. If there is a number 1.0000... (100 million 0's) ...1, we can plot it by dividing real line into required many parts but we cant plot a number like 1.1111....1111....(up to, we don't know), actually that's not a number yet.Maths should be changed.
Is 1 8 the decimal for 0.12?
No, 1 8 cant be a decimal.
What number cant you add two prime numbers to get it?
The numbers 1, 2 or 3 are such numbers.
Can prime numbers be equal?
How can 2 prime numbers ever be equal They cant be Equal.
Why cant 2 and 3 be two consecutive whole numbers be prime numbers?
2 and 3 are prime numbers.
Why cant irrational number be presented as a decimal?
All irrational numbers are non-terminating decimals that can't be expressed as fractions
What is a number that cant be written as a fraction or decimal?
Irrational, possibly transcendental
How do you know if a decimal is rational or irrational?
A decimal is rational if it:either ends and doesn't go on forever; ORit is a repeating decimal.A decimal is irrational if it goes on forever and ever and never stops without repeating.The number: 5.77777777 is rational because it goes on forever, REPEATING the same number (the digit 7).It can also repeat a group of numbers, like the number: 8.789789789789789789See how the "789" is REPEATING over and over again and never stops? That is a rational decimal!
Can the difference of two rational numbers can be irrational?
No irrational numbers don't have patterns and cant be expressed as a ratio so you cant even subtract the number. Ex: 22/7 - sqrt(2), you wont be able to find the difference since you cant even put it in a complete number.
What does irrational?
irrational means something that cant make a fraction !!1
What are the natrual numbers?
its when you have a number starting at 1 and it works its way up to infiniti and cant be a negative or decimal etc.
What is an irrational number between 5 to 10?
An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a fraction. So whole numbers and fractions are out. You can then just make a number like 6.34298374923743333333. You put a bar over the 3 so it repeats, and the number cant be expressed as a fraction, makin git an irrational number.

What is a number real?
a number that cant be written on a number line. (ex. √-1) (the check is a square root sign)
