Answer:
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction (ratio). This includes whole numbers, square roots that can be solved evenly, negatives, decimals, and repeating decimals that can be solved with a fraction. An irrational number is a number that is NOT rational. It's the complete opposite!
= 2 + 4 = 6 ↔ rational
= 2 * 2 = 4 ↔ rational
= 7 + 9 = 16 ↔ rational
Hope this helps!!
