Multiply both numbers by five- to get the fraction 85/100... which is 85%
A rational number is any number that can be made by dividing one integer by another.0.5 is a rational number as it can be made by dividing the number 1 by the number 22 is a rational number because it can be made by dividing 2 by 1-6.6 is a rational number because it can be made by dividing -66 by 10---------------------------------------------------------Note there are number that are called irrational numbers. Irrational numbers are all "real" numbers (numbers with a decimal point) that cannot be written as a simple fraction - the decimal goes on forever without repeating.For instance the number Pi is an irrational number.A rational number is a real number that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. Another way to think about it is this: if you can write a number as a fraction then it's a rational number.
Z=Integers; Rational numbers={a/b| a,b∈Z, b ≠ 0}.
That's a 'rational' number.
It is the ratio of the two numbers.
Numbers are either irrational (like the square root of 2 or pi) or rational (can be stated as a fraction using whole numbers). Irrational numbers are never rational.
-- Any number that you can completely write down using digits, and a decimal point or fraction bar if needed, is rational. -- A rational number is defined as one that can be written as a fraction using whole numbers. -19 can be written as the fraction -19/1 .
Yes, as long as the two nonzero numbers are themselves rational. (Since a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient of two rational numbers, or any number that can be written as a fraction using only rational numbers.) If one of the nonzero numbers is not rational, the quotient will most likely be irrational.
-- It's rational if there's any way to write it as a fraction that has whole numbers on the top and bottom. -- It's rational if you can write it down on paper completely, using digits.
The LCM is used to convert unlike rational fraction to like fractions so that they can be added or subtracted. Any common multiple will do so the LCM is not that important. However, using the LCM will ensure that the numbers that you have to deal with are as small as they can be.

It means that the answer can be written as a fraction using whole numbers (integers) i.e. 3/4 or 1/8 or 5 (which is identical to 5/1 and hence rational)
For a number to be rational you need to be able to write it as a fraction. To answer your question, it must repeat as a decimal or else terminate which can be thought of as repeating zeroes. Further, every repeating decimal can be written as a fraction and you can find the fraction by using the formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series.
A rational number is one that can be represented as an integer or a fraction with an integer over an integer. An irrational number cannot be represented using integers. Examples of rational numbers: 2, 100, 1/2, 3/7, 22/7 Examples of irrational numbers: π, e, √2
It means that either the numbers involved in the word problem are all rational or that any irrational numbers are being approximated by rational numbers.
