Answer:

a rational number

Explanation:

3.4 is a terminating decimal. That means that after the 4 in 3.4 there are no other numbers (the number "ends" after the 4) Also, 3.4 can be written as a RATIO of two numbers (looks like a fraction)

3.4 = 3 4/10 = 3 2/5

= 15/5 + 2/5

= 17/5

If you put 17รท5 in a calculator it would say 3.4

3.4 = 17/5

3.4 is a rational number.
