Ok, think about it. What’s the definition of a irrational number? Can the number be converted to a fraction or be able to be turned into a decimal that repeats or terminates? If so your looking at a rational number. If it can’t be turned into a fraction or become a repeating or terminating decimal then your number is likely a irrational number. Hope this helps. And your number is a rational number.
