Actually, a repeating decimal is not necessarily an irrational number. A repeating decimal is a decimal number that has a repeating pattern of digits after the decimal point. While some repeating decimals can be irrational, such as 0.1010010001..., others can be rational, like 0.3333... which is equal to 1/3. Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction, and they have non-repeating, non-terminating decimal representations.
it is rational becuase it's like a repeating decimal
Rational
If its decimal representation is either terminating or a repeating number then it is rational. Otherwise it is irrational.
A repeating decimal is a rational number. Its value is(the repeating set of digits)/(as many 9s as there are digits above).
