Answer:

4.) 5.3333333....

Explanation:

Rational numbers are either repeating decimals:


(1)/(3)= 0.333333333....

Include terminating decimals:


(1)/(8)= 0.125

Are all numbers that can be written as a quotient of integers:


(a)/(b),b\\eq 0

Options (1), (2), and (3) are neither repeating, terminating, and can't be written as a quotient of integers.

Option (4) has repeating decimals, so this is rational.

:Done
