Answer:

A rational number.

Explanation

A rational number is a ratio of whole numbers.

1/3 is the ratio of 1:3

3:1 becomes 3/1 = 3

32:10 can be written 32/10 or 16/5 or 3.2

16/5 is a rational number 16 and 5 are integers, 5 is not equal to 0.

Therefore, 3.2 which can be expressed as 16/5 is a rational number.
