Here’s how to classify the given numbers:

Rational

  • 1/4 (a fraction, which is a rational number)
  • 18/3 (equals 6, which is a rational number)
  • -0.5 (can be expressed as -1/2, which is a rational number)

Irrational

  • √2 (does not terminate or repeat)
  • √9 (equals 3, which is a rational number, we had a mistake here - it should be in Rational)

So, the classifications should be:

  • Rational: 1/4, 18/3, -0.5, √9
  • Irrational: √2

Please adjust the responses if √9 was inadvertently classified. If the classification stands, it should only have:

  • Irrational: √2
