What do you do to check whether a number is rational or irrational? In your explanation, use an example of an irrational and a rational number.

Please help me I don't know what to do.

any number that can be expressed as a simple fraction of the form a/b, where b ≠ 0 is rational

rational --- from ratio --- a: b or a/b

A number which cannot be expressed as a simple fraction in the above form is irrational
irrational --> not rational
(irresponsible -- not responsible)

Any decimal which terminates is rational
any decimal which has a repeat is rational
any decimal which does not show any repeating decimals and which is never-ending is irrational

e.g.
4/7 --- rational
3.454545... rational
2.6789789789... rational
4.56556555655556... irrational
π --- irrational
√5 or any square root of a number which is not a perfect square is irrational

√16 -- rational, but √17 -- irrational
