Yes- every terminating or repeating decimal number is rational.
Yes, it may be a repeating decimal, such as 1/3 = 0.33333.... or 1/11 = 0.090909.... or something longer such as 1/7 = 0.142857142857142857.... where the '142857' is the repeating part. But every rational number (eg. fraction) can be mapped to a corresponding decimal equivalent.
Every two-decimal place number is rational.
-- Every whole number that's less than 5 is a rational number less than 5. -- Every terminating decimal that's less than 5, and some that don't terminate, is a rational number less than 5. -- Every number less than 5 that you can completely write with digits is a rational number less than 5.
Yes, A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction whose numerator and denominator are both integers. (For example, 7/3 is a rational number, but pi/3 is not.) Thus, any terminating decimal number is a rational number. Recurring decimals and integers are also rational numbers as they can all be expressed as fractions.
