If that is repeating 6 then it is a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction in the form of 2/3
Written terminating as it does, it is a rational number. If that is the first bit with the 6 repeating forever (1.666...), then it is still a rational number. Irrational numbers as those numbers in decimal format that neither terminate nor end with a repeating sequence of digits.
9.565565556 = 9565565556/1000000000 = 2391391389/250000000 So it is rational. However, if you mean 9.565565556... where it continues with one more 5 than last time followed by a 6 and so on forever, then no, it is not a rational. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The decimal form of a rational number either terminates or continues with the same one or more digits repeating, eg 1.5, 1.333..., 1.1818181..., 1.1666..., 1.1565656... are all rational numbers. If the decimal does not terminate nor continue forever with the same repeating digit(s) then the number is irrational. 9.565565556 as written terminates and so it a rational number. 9.565565556... does not terminate nor does it continue with the same repeating digits (as an extra 5 is inserted before the next 6), so it it irrational.
Well, honey, 6 is about as rational as a person can get! It's a whole number, which means it can be expressed as a fraction (6/1), making it a rational number. So, yes, 6 is definitely a rational number, no ifs, ands, or buts about it!
Yes, 1/6 is a rational number
