no. you can think of an irrational number as any number you don't know the last digit of. 1/2 is = to 0.5. because you know 5 is the last digit, it is rational. pi is irrational, because it does not have a last digit, it goes on forever. 10/3 or 3.33333 repeating is rational because you know 3 will be the last digit even if it is infinite. 6.7878787878 repeating would be irrational because it is not known if the 7 or the 8 is the last digit
No, it cannot. The product of a rational and irrational is always irrational. And half a number is equivalent to multiplication by 0.5
Provided that the rational number is not 0, the product is irrational.
The sum of a rational and irrational number must be an irrational number.
No, 3.56 is not an irrational number. 3.56 is rational.
If you divide a rational number by an irrational number, or vice versa, you will ALMOST ALWAYS get an irrational result. The sole exception is if you divide zero (which is rational) by any irrational number.
no
No, it cannot. The product of a rational and irrational is always irrational. And half a number is equivalent to multiplication by 0.5
There are more irrational numbers in that interval than there are rational numbers in total!
As a number which can be expressed as a fraction, 1/2 is a rational number.
No.
No because -1/2 is a rational number expressed as a fraction
1.5 is rational. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction.
The number -1/2 is a rational number, a negative integer divided by a positive integer.
Provided that the rational number is not 0, the product is irrational.
At least one of the factors has to be irrational.* An irrational number times ANY number (except zero) is irrational. * The product of two irrational numbers can be either rational or irrational.
It can be written as a fraction, so it is rational.
No. It can be written as a fraction, so it is rational.
