It is indeed a rational number.
Do you know the definition of a rational number?
It is a number which can be exactly obtained by dividing one integer into another integer.
-5.8 can be obtained exactly by dividing -58 by 10. It doesn't matter that -58 is a negative number. It is still a whole number, otherwise known as an integer.
An example of an irrational number (not a rational number) is √2. This number can only be approximated (as 1.414… with as many decimal places as you desire); but it can not be exactly expressed as the ratio of two integers - as a rational number, that is.
Another irrational number is π (pronounced 'pi'). It is approximately 3.14159 - but no number of decimal places will get it exactly; nor will the ratio of any two integers.
rational?
Yes
No
10.01 is a rational number
Rational
Such a product is always irrational - unless the rational number happens to be zero.
The sum of a rational and irrational number must be an irrational number.
rational * irrational = irrational.
58 is rational.
Is 5.8 an irrational number
10.01 is a rational number
Rational
RATIONAL , because you can convert it to a RATION (FRACTION). Method Let P = 0.272727.... Then 100P = 27.272727.... Subtract 99P = 27 (Note the decimals to infinity subtract to zero. P = 27/99 Cancel down by '9' P = 3/11 ( Which is a RATIO/rational). Since both '3' & '11' are prime numbers this will not cancel down any further. Hence 3/11 = 0.272727....
It is a rational number.
is 34.54 and irrational or rational. number
it is a rational number but 4.121314..... is an irrational no
Irrational.
Such a product is always irrational - unless the rational number happens to be zero.
The product of a rational and irrational number can be rational if the rational is 0. Otherwise it is always irrational.
No number is irrational and rational.
