Answer:

Rational numbers can be represented in decimal forms rather than representing in fractions. They can easily be represented as decimals by just dividing numerator 'p' by denominator 'q' (as rational numbers is in the form of p/q). A rational number can be expressed as a terminating or nonterminating, recurring decimal.
