Up to this point, the only types of numbers you've seen have been rational numbers. You can write any rational number as a fraction. The prefix ir- means not. What do you think it means for a number to be irrational? Can you think of any numbers that are irrational?

Answer:

Since rational numbers can be written as a ratio, such as a/b, then irrational numbers can not be written that way.

Explanation:

Square roots of non-perfect squares are irrational numbers because they are non-terminating and non repeating decimals
