Answer: If a number is rational, it can be represented as a simple fraction, it can be written as a terminating decimal, and a repeating decimal.

If a number is irrational, it cannot be represented as a simple fraction, it cannot be written as a terminating decimal, and not as a repeating decimal. It never ends, never repeats, just like the constant pi.

Explanation:

So if a number is rational, it can be represented as a simple fraction, it can be written as a terminating decimal, and a repeating decimal.

If a number is irrational, it cannot be represented as a simple fraction, it cannot be written as a terminating decimal, and not as a repeating decimal. It never ends, never repeats, just like the constant pi.
