An irrational number is a real number that can't be written as a simple fraction. So your EX, a rational number . ND Pi is a irrational number thats another example .

or


irrational numbrs cannot be written as a simple fraction like 34/73 or a/b . The number in decimal form, does not end because if it did it would end at one particular number, you could write it as that number over one, which would look like 0.6666666.. is rational cause it is equivalent too 2/3, Pi is irrational cause it cannot be represented by a simple fraction, we can approximate pi at 22/7, but 22/7 divide out doesn't end the whole pi .


The answer would be Falsee since 14.75 can be written as 14.75/1 or 1475/100 either way . REALLY HOPE THAT THIS HELPS BRO IF NOT COMMENT BELOWW PLX THANKS! BRO .

14.75 is a rational number because it can be written in a ratio form
(x)/(y) or x to y or x : y

14.75 =
(59)/(4)

False, 14.75 is not an example of an irrational number.
