If a decimal can be expressed as a fraction then it is a rational number
as for example 0.75 = 3/4
Also, if the decimal ever ends, or is a never ending repeat of the same digit
or group of them, then it's a rational number.

How can use division to find the Decimal equivalent of a rational number?
A rational number can be expressed as a ratio p/q of two integers where q > 0. Divide the numerator p by the denominator q. The answer is the decimal representation of the rational number.
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.
What are the difference between decimal in rational and decimal in irrational?
A decimal rational number can be expressed as a fraction A decimal irrational number can not be expressed as a fraction
Can every rational fraction be written as a repeating decimal?
Any rational number is either a repeating decimal, or a terminating decimal.
Why decimal is considered as rational number?
A decimal need not be a rational. A non-terminating, non recurring decimal is an irrational number. Only a terminating decimal or a recurring decimal is rational and that is because such a number can be expressed as a ratio of two integers.
How can you use division to find the decimal equivalent of a rational number?
Divide the numerator of the rational number by its denominator. The quotient is the decimal equivalent.
Is a repeating decimal rational or irrational?
A repeating decimal is rational.
Is It possible to find a decimal that cannot be written as a rational number?
Yes.
Is 4.101010001 a rational nummber?

Is 8.2 a rational number?
Yes. Any terminating decimal is a rational number. Any repeating decimal also.
Is 0.454545... an irrational number?
No. It is a rational number. Any repeating decimal or terminating decimal is rational.
is 27.5 rational or irrational?
It is rational. An irrational number is a number that you cannot define by a fraction or a decimal. Since you wrote it as a decimal, it is rational.
