Sometimes. The number '4' is real and rational. The number 'pi' is real but not rational.
We know that a real number is rational if and only if, when expressed as a decimal, it has a finite or recurring expansion. . . (put a point exactly over 8 and 2). For example, 5/4 = 1.25, 2/3 = 0.6, 20/7 = 2.857142857 or 20/7 = 2.857142
