According to Hannah 2.11 is a rational number.

According to Gus 2.11 is a repeating decimal.

Please see..

2.11 don't have more dots after two ones after decimal.

If it would be a repeating decimal, it should be look like this 2.11......

2.11 could be expressed as rational number 211/100.

Therefore, Hannah is absolutely correct by saying hat 2.11 is a rational number.
