What is the 15.125 it is a rational or irrational in math?

It is a rational number. The reason that it is rational is that you can represent it as a fraction, where the denominator (the number at the bottom of the fraction) is not equal to 0.So, for example, as we could write the number 15.125 as 15125/1000 then it is rational.

What is a 'real number' in relation to Math?

Real numbers include positive and negative numbers, integers and fractional numbers, and even irrational numbers - numbers that are between rational numbers, but that are not rational numbers themselves. (A rational number is one that can be written as a fraction, with integers in the numerator and the denominator.) Real numbers can be represented as points on a straight line.
