Question

Identify the number 127 as a rational or irrational. Explain

Answer 1

The number 127 is rational because:

It can be written as in p/q form as in 127/1

Answer 2

127 is rational

Explanation:

The number 127 is rational because it can be expressed as the quotient of two integers p and q in the form:

`\frac {p} {q}` which can be represented as
`\frac {127} {1}`

While if the number is
`√(127)`, then it would be irrational because the square root of 127 gives a decimal number that goes on and on and cannot be represented as a fraction.
