Answer:

Yes, 0.3 repeating is a rational number.

Explanation:

To find : Is 0.3 Repeating rational ?

Solution :

Rational number is defined as the number written in p/q form where p and q are integers and q is non-zero.

Let the number written as,


x=0.3333... .....(1)

Multiply both side by 10,


10x=3.3333... .....(2)

Subtract (1) and (2),


10x-x=(3.3333...)-(0.3333...)


9x=3


x=(3)/(9)


x=(1)/(3)

So,
0.3333...=(1)/(3)

The number is written in p/q form so it is a rational number.
