Answer:

yes it is because it is expressed in the form of a p/q

Explanation:

If a number is expressed in the form of p/q then it is a rational number. Here p and q are integers, and q is not equal to 0. A rational number should have a numerator and denominator. Examples: 10/2, 30/3, 100/5.

so yes 10/2 is a rational number

oh and i mean yes its rational no its not irrational :)

No, it is not an irrational number.

Irrational numbers are those who cannot be turned into a fraction.

10/2 is a fraction. Therefore, it is a Rational number.


Edit:\;Also,\;if\;you\;were\;to\;make\;it\;a\;whole\;number\;then\;it\;would\;be\:5.
Which\;can\:be\;turned\;into\;5/1.

To do so, divide the numerator (Top number) by the denominator (Bottom number).
