If, by fraction, you mean a number which can be written in the form p/q where p and q are integers and q>0, then none of them are irrational.
If you mean a number which can be written as x/q where x is real and q is a positive integer, then it is irrational whenever x is irrational.

RossIf you make a fraction with whole numbers in the numerator and the denominator, such as 1/3, 2/5, 5/1, 99/7, etc., then BY DEFINITION you have a rational number. The only way to get an irrational number in a fraction is if one of its parts is also irrational. For example, (square root of 3) / 2.
