Answer:

Rational

Explanation:

It is a rational number because any number that can be rewritten as a simple fraction is a rational number. This means that natural/counting numbers, whole numbers and integers, like 5, are all part of the set of rational numbers as well because they can be written as fractions, as are mixed numbers such as 1 ½.
