Answer:

Rational Numbers consist of numbers that are perfect squares such as 4, 9, 16, 25, etc. Irrational Numbers consist of surds such as 2, 3, 5, 7 and so on. Both the numerator and denominator of rational numbers are whole numbers, in which the denominator of rational numbers is not equivalent to zero.
