Whether it terminates at precisely 0.151515 or continues to repeat that same pattern forever, it is a rational number. To represent an infinitely repeating pattern, draw a horizontal line over the repeating numbers (in this case, over everything after "0."). If that isn't possible (because you're using a computer, like you are now), place an ellipsis (three periods, "...") after the decimal repeats a few times ("0.151515...").

Numbers that continue infinitely but never show an infinitely-repeating pattern are irrational.

I've made my fair share of mistakes, and if I can help you avoid a few, I'd sure like to try.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
