Yes, because 1.6 is a decimal so it can be written as one and three over five (1 and 3/5 or 1 and 6/10). A rational number is represented as a fraction, it is often expressed in simplest form. A fraction is in simplest form when the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator is one.

Answer 4

Yes, 1.6 is a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction where the numerator is 16 and the denominator is 10, resulting in 16/10.

Since 16 and 10 are both integers and the denominator is not zero, 1.6 is indeed a rational number.
