Answer:

c) 0.23

Explanation:

Let's look through these one by one to check if they're a rational number or not. First, we have e. It's also known as "Euler's number," and it goes on forever and doesn't repeat. Since it doesn't repeat or terminate, it's not a rational number.

What about
√(3)? Well, if we look this up, we get 1.732050... and it doesn't look like it repeats or terminates. So this isn't a rational number.

Let's take a look at 0.23. Well, this looks like a terminating decimal. It can be written as a fraction (
(23)/(100)). So it's a rational number.

Just to make sure, let's check
(\pi )/(2). While it is written as a fraction, when you divide it out, it creates a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal, so this is not a rational number.

Hopefully that was helpful! If you have any more questions, let me know.

the answer is c because a is a letter, b is never ending, and d is a fraction with pi in it
