Question

Is 2 1/7 not a rational number

Answer 1

2 1/7 is a mixed number BUT it is also a rational number.

Turning this into a improper fraction, you'd get 15/7

15/7 = 2.14285...

Repeating decimals are rational numbers

Answer 2

I think the answer is yes but not 100% sure

hope this helps :3

Explanation:

"In decimal form, rational numbers are either terminating or repeating decimals. For example, 1/7 = 0.142857, where the bar over 142857 indicates a pattern that repeats forever."
