Question 79737: An irrational number can become rational by dropping a few decimal places? True or false?

An irrational number is a number that cannot be represented as the quotient of two integers, ie. a fraction.
Examples of irrational numbers are non-repeating, non-terminating decimals.
The nature of the irrational number is not altered by "dropping a few decimal places". It will remain an irrational number.
