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
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.
It is always irrational.
58 is rational.
Is 5.8 an irrational number

It is a rational number.
34.5 is RATIONAL. Irrational numbers are those were the decimals go to infinity AND there is no regular order in the decimal numbers. Definitively an Irrational Number CAnnot BE CONVERTED TO A quotient/ratio/frACTION pi = 3.141592.... is the most well known irrational number. So 34.5 is rational 34.55555..... is rational (gOES TO INFINITY ; numbers in regukar order). 34.565656.... is Rational (Goes to infinity ; numbers in regulkar order). et seq., The dots after the number mean it continues to infinity . However, 34.25865414..... is Irrational . Because there is no regular order in the decimal digits.
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.
If an irrational number is added to, (or multiplied by) a rational number, the result will always be an irrational number.
When a rational numbers is divided by an irrational number, the answer is irrational for every non-zero rational number.
