To classify each number as either Rational or Irrational:

  1. : Irrational
    (π is an irrational number, and multiplying it by a rational number does not change its irrationality.)

  2. √35: Irrational
    (35 is not a perfect square, so its square root is irrational.)

  3. 5/8: Rational
    (This is a fraction of two integers, which makes it a rational number.)

  4. 6.2̅ (where 2 is repeating): Rational
    (This represents the repeating decimal 6.2222..., which can be expressed as a fraction and is therefore rational.)

Here's the classification:

Rational: 5/8, 6.2̅
Irrational: 3π, √35
