Answer:

The number
\(7 (2)/(5)\) is a rational number.

Explanation:

A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the ratio (fraction) of two integers, where the denominator is not zero. In this case,
\(7 (2)/(5)\)can be written as the fraction
\((37)/(5)\), where the numerator (37) and denominator (5) are both integers. Therefore, it is a rational number.
