1 answer

The numbers -7.4 and √25 (which simplifies to 5) are rational numbers because they can be expressed as integers or fractions.

The number 3.232323..., on the other hand, is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed exactly as an integer or fraction. It is a repeating decimal that goes on forever without a pattern.
