Question

is three over five rational or irrational

Answer 1

Three over five, or \( \frac{3}{5} \), is a rational number. Rational numbers are defined as numbers that can be expressed as a fraction \( \frac{a}{b} \), where \( a \) and \( b \) are integers and \( b \) is not zero. Since both 3 and 5 are integers, and 5 is not zero, \( \frac{3}{5} \) is indeed rational.
