In Mathematics, any number that can be put into the forma,t
(p)/(q), where q is not a zero is a rational number.

So yes, 62/495 is a rational number

62/495 = 62 ÷ 495 = 0.125252525.... it is a repeating decimal (with the dot on top of 2 and 5)

Answer:(a) it a rational number. (b)It is a repeating decimal

1. It's a rational number as it's written in fraction form.
2. It's a repeating because if you divide 62/495 you get 12.5252...(52 repeating)
