Answer:

0, 5/7, and -10 are RATIONAL numbers ⇒ 1, 2, 4

Explanation:

Rational number are the numbers can be written in the form of the fraction
(a)/(b) , b ≠ 0

Example:

  • 5, -3, 5.2 , -10.567,
    2(1)/(3) ,
    √(64) ,
    -\sqrt{(25)/(4)} ,
    \frac{\sqrt[3]{8}}{5} , .......
  • 5 can be written as
    (5)/(1)
  • -3 can be written as
    -(3)/(1)
  • 5.2 can be written as
    (52)/(10)
  • -10.567 can be written as
    -(10567)/(1000)

  • 2(1)/(3) can be written as
    (7)/(3)

  • √(64) can be written as
    (8)/(1)

  • -\sqrt{(25)/(4)} can be written as
    -(5)/(2)

  • \frac{\sqrt[3]{8}}{5} can be written as
    (2)/(5)

All the numbers above are rational numbers

Let us find the rational numbers in our question

∵ 0 can be written as
(0)/(1)

0 is a rational number


(5)/(7) is a fraction


(5)/(7) is a rational number

∵ 3.6820350285........ can not be written in the form of the fraction

because we do not know its end (it is an approximated number)

∴ 3.6820350285........ is not a rational number

∵ -10 can be written as
-(10)/(1)

-10 is a rational number

0, 5/7, and -10 are RATIONAL numbers
