You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I presume this is problem number 4 and the number you are to show is rational is 0.37.
.
You can show that 0.37 is rational by recognizing that 0.37 means 37 hundredths and this is:
.
37%2F100
.
This fraction is the quotient of two integers and therefore 0.37 is rational.
.
Hope my presumption is correct and that this helps you to understand how you can show that
decimal numbers are rational.
