It is irrational. Any number that cannot be written as a fraction is irrational. So if the Golden Ratio were rational, instead of a never-ending decimal number, you'd see a fraction. The official measurement is (1+sqrt5)/2. sqrt5 is irrational.
No. The Golden ratio is an irrational number: [1 + sqrt(5)]/2 = 1.6180, approx. It is found in many patterns - in nature as well as man-made.
Five examples of irrational numbers are Pi, the Golden Ratio, Euler's number, the square root of 7.298363, and the cubed root of 26.483738.
The golden ratio is a pure number and so has no dimensions.The golden ratio is a pure number and so has no dimensions.The golden ratio is a pure number and so has no dimensions.The golden ratio is a pure number and so has no dimensions.
Any real number which cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers is an irrational number.
infinitely many - the golden ratio is an irrational number
1 + sqrt(5)/2 is.
I am not certain what you mean by "type." The golden ratio is the number (1+Sqrt(5))/2, and is thus a real, irrational number.

The Maya civilization used the golden ratio. This ratio is an irrational number that is approximately 1.618. It is wherein two quantities is equivalent to the ratio which is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities.

-4.9 is a rational number. If a number is irrational, then it can not be expressed as a finite number of digits. A few examples of irrational numbers are: pi, the square root of any integer which is not square and the golden ratio (phi).
That's the number pi, and yes, it is irrational.

The golden ratio is not a ratio of two whole numbers but an irrational number. It is 0.5*(1+sqrt(5)). Because it is irrational you cannot find two whole numbers such that their ratio equals the golden ratio. All you can do is get closer and closer to it. 62/38 = 1.6315789 618/382 = 1.6178010 and so on.
No. The root word in "ir-RATIO-nal" is ratio. So an irrational number is one that cannot be written as a RATIO of two integers. Your number is a ratio of the two integers 3 and 8. Thus it is RATIO-nal. The examples of irrational number are infinity and certain square roots. Irrational number therefore cannot be expressed as a ratio a/b, where a and b are integers and b is non-zero. Informally, this means that an irrational number cannot be represented as a simple fraction. Irrational numbers are those real numbers that cannot be represented as terminating or repeating decimals. As a consequence of Cantor's proof that the real numbers are uncountable (and the rationals countable) it follows that almost all real numbers are irrational. Perhaps the best-known irrational numbers are: the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter π, Euler's number e, the golden ratio φ, and the square root of two √2.
