Question

Tom is trying to write 3/47 As a decimal. He used long division and divided until he got the quotient 0.638297872, at which point he stopped. Since the decimal doesn’t seem to terminate or repeat, he concluded that 3/47 is not rational. Do you agree or disagree? Why?

Answer 1

I disagree because the term 3/47 is already rational. As long as it is a fraction, it is rational.
