Answer:

Rational

Explanation:

Rational numbers include fractions and decimals that end or have a pattern. Irrational numbers, however, do not end and have an arbitrary pattern. -0.25 is rational because it is a terminating decimal which means it ends.

Examples of irrational numbers include:

√2 , -√101 , π (pi)

Examples of rational numbers include:

-0.89 , √16 , 1/3

i hope this helps :)
