Most children learn about Pi and square roots somewhere during the middle school. They may hear said 'irrational number' and some even remember the phrase, but very few really understand what it means. Well, Irrational Numbers are harder to understand than rational numbers, but I consider it worth the time and effort because they have some fascinating properties. I just have to wonder in awe when I see the facts laid in front of me because it all sounds unbelievable, yet proven true.
To study irrational numbers one has to first understand what are rational numbers. In short they are whole numbers, fractions, and decimals - the numbers we use in our daily lives.
The answer depend on the product of a whole number and WHAT! The answer can be another whole number, a rational number or an irrational number.
It can't be expressed as a whole number. The square root of two is irrational, and the product of an irrational number and a rational number is also irrational. So 8*sqrt(2) is irrational.
Every whole number is rational.
rational because it is a whole number
75329 is a rational number and a whole number.

No.
It can be written as a fraction, so it is rational. It is not an integer, whole number or irrational.
It can't be expressed as a whole number. The square root of two is irrational, and the product of an irrational number and a rational number is also irrational. So 8*sqrt(2) is irrational.
Every whole number is rational.
-18.75 is not a whole number but it is a rational number
Rational numbers and irrational numbers are two completely different groups. A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction of whole integers. An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a fraction of whole integers. So a number is either rational or irrational.
No. No irrational numbers are whole, and all whole numbers are rational.
rational because it is a whole number
Every whole number is rational.
It is a whole number so it is rational.
75329 is a rational number and a whole number.
