Rational numbers are numbers that can be written in form of a fraction. Whereby both numerator and deniminator are integers but the denominator is not zero.

Thus 5.14 can be written as:


(514)/(100)\text{ or 5}(14)/(100)

Therefore we can say that 5.14 is a rational number

ANSWER:

Yes, 5.14 is a rational number.
