Rational , because it can be converted to an ratio/fraction

0.4744 = 0.4744/1.0000 = 4744/10000

Cancel down by '2'

4744/10000 = 2372/5000

Cancel down again by '2'

1186/2500

Cancel down again by '2'

593/1250 Done!!!!

NB An IRRATIONAL number is one were the decinals go to infinity AND there is NO regular order in the decimal digits.

pi = 3.141592.... Is the most well known irrational number.

However,

1/3 = 0.3333.... is NOT irrational because the decimal digits are in a regular order of '3'.
