Irrational Numbers have infinitely long, non-repeating decimal expansions. They cannot be natural numbers or whole numbers. Those are rational.

Nothing you can do to 25% can ever make it a whole number. In order to be a whole number, it has to be '1' or more, but 25% is only one quarter.
In mathematics, there is no "last number" in the whole number system. The set of whole numbers is infinite, meaning there is no largest whole number. This concept is known as the principle of mathematical induction, which states that for any whole number, there is always a larger whole number.
If that's the complete number, then it's rational. But I see two periods after the '350'. Are those meant to suggest that the decimal goes on further ? If so, then in order to answer your question, we need to know whether the decimal ever ends or repeats. -- If it never ends or repeats, then it's an irrational number. -- If it ever ends or repeats, even if the repeat is several thousand digits long, then the number is rational.
Well, honey, the multiples of 4.25 are any number that you get when you multiply 4.25 by a whole number. So, you've got 4.25, 8.50, 12.75, 17.00, and so on. Just keep adding 4.25 to the previous number and you've got yourself a whole list of multiples. Hope that helps, sugar!
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! To round 56.52 to the nearest whole number, we look at the digit right after the decimal point. Since it's 5 or more, we round the whole number up to 57. Just like that, we've turned a decimal into a nice, whole number.
