88 = 88/1. The number can be expressed as a ratio of two integers and, therefore, it is a rational number.
2.4 is a rational number because it can be expressed as an improper fraction in the form of 12/5
Write it down. All terminating decimals are rational.

nothing at all!
yes, repeating decimals (those that have infinite - never ending - number of digits after the decimal point and these decimals show repeating pattern) are rational numbers, because they can be written as fractions.
The decimal shows a repeating pattern. Repeating decimals are rational.
If it can be expressed as a fraction then it is a rational number
Sometimes. Ellipses are used in repeating decimals like 7.4444... or 8.121212... to show that the pattern repeats forever. Repeating decimals are rational. Ellipses are also used in non-repeating, non-terminating decimals like pi = 3.14159... . Non-repeating, non-terminating decimals are irrational.
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.

Integers are counting numbers or include them. 1/2 is a rational number that is not a couinting number.

2.4 expressed as an improper fraction is 12/5 thus proving that it is a rational number
