Rational numbers are those that can be expressed as a fraction.
1.82 is rational:
1.82/1 = 182/100 both numerator and denominator are divisible by 2:
91/50 no further simplification is possible. This is your answer.
-----------------------------------------
There is one other thing you must know and it is that 91/50 can be written as a mixed number because 91 is bigger than 50:
50 goes into 91 1 time and a fraction; so we have 1 (91-50)/50 = 1 41/50.
