Question 756913
a. 1/3 - any number that can be written as a fraction of two integers is rational.  1/3 = .333...repeating, so this is a rational, repeating decimal number.<P>
b. 1/4  = .25, this is a rational, terminating decimal number.<P>
c. the square root of 17 - irrational.  It cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers.<P>
d. the square root of 9 = 3.  This is a rational number because it can be represented as a fraction of two integers.  3/1.<P>
There is no such thing as a rational terminating integer.  Terminating/repeating has to do with decimals.  Integers have no decimals, so aren't described as terminating or repeating.
