Answer: Robert is correct, irrational numbers are part of real numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, numbers are classified into different groups or seats. In the case of real numbers, these are a broad category that includes all numbers that can be represented on a line. Moreover, this category includes smaller categories such as rational numbers, for example, 15, 2.4 or 6/2 that can be represented as fractions, as well as, irrational numbers such as
\pi that cannot be fractions. In this context, Jenny is incorrect and Robert is correct because irrational numbers are also real numbers.
