Answer 1

for this problem we need to rememberwhat is the definition of a RATIONAL number defined as a number that canbe obtained from two integers

If we analyze the number given we can see that 6.11212312.... represent an Irrational number since this number cannot be obtained from the division of two integers

So then the best solution for this case would be:

b) Deena is correct. Elijah might think it is showing a pattern.
