Solution:

Concept:

A rational number is a number that is expressed as the ratio of two integers, where the denominator should not be equal to zero, whereas an irrational number cannot be expressed in the form of fractions. Rational numbers are terminating decimals but irrational numbers are non-terminating and non-recurring.

The number given in the question is


65.4\bar{279}

The number above shows that

279 is repeating in this particular decimal

Hence,

The final answer is

RATIONAL NUMBER
