Explanation:

any rational number can be expressed as a/b, with a and b being integer numbers, and b different to 0.

-7 = -7/1 rational

sqrt(10) irrational (because there is no rational number multiplied by itself that results in 10)

sqrt(16) = sqrt(4×4) = 4 = 4/1 rational

52% = 52/100 rational

1.235 = 1235/1000 rational
