Answer:

Rational number

Explanation:

We are given that a number 5.75

We have to find that given number is rational or irrational

Rational number : It is that number which can be written as
(p)/(q)

Where q is not equal to zero and p, q are integers.

Irrational number : It is that number which is not rational .If a number is not rational then the number is called irrational number .


{5.75}=(575)/(100)=(23)/(4)

When we remove decimal then we write 100 in the denominator because there are two digits after decimal.

The given number is of the from
(p)/(q) and 23 and 4 are both integers.

Hence, the number is rational number .
