Question 97835: a rational number has a decimal which either terminates or repeats endlessly,
while an irrational number has a decimal which continues endlessly and without repeating. is this true or false? Answer by mathslover(157) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is true
a rational number has a decimal which either terminates or repeats endlessly,
.
You can always express it in the form of a/b
for eg 2.341= 2341/1000
1.333333..... = 10/3
whereas a number of the form 1.237803459....if the decimal does not repeat we cannot put it in the form of a/b and hence irrational
