Question

15 POINTS! PLEASE HELP ME!

I have two math questions, 15 points.

1. Is 62/495 a rational or irrational number?
2. Is it a repeating decimal number or terminating decimal number?

I think it's rational and terminating but I'm not sure please help!

Answer 1

In Mathematics, any number that can be put into the forma,t
`(p)/(q)`, where q is not a zero is a rational number.

So yes, 62/495 is a rational number

62/495 = 62 ÷ 495 = 0.125252525.... it is a repeating decimal (with the dot on top of 2 and 5)

Answer 2

1. It's a rational number as it's written in fraction form.
2. It's a repeating because if you divide 62/495 you get 12.5252...(52 repeating)
