Answer:

Rational

Explanation:

The key detail in this problem is that the decimal is terminating so it's not infinitely continuous. A irrational number is a value that when in decimal form, it is infinitely continuous and never ends. Since the decimal we are working with terminates, it is rational.

Best of Luck!
