To determine which of the numbers represent irrational numbers, we need to know the definitions of rational and irrational numbers:

  • Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction of two integers (where the denominator is not zero). This includes integers, finite decimals, and repeating decimals.
  • Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction. They have non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansions.

Now, let's evaluate the given options:

  1. 1.3333...: This is a repeating decimal, which can be expressed as the fraction \( \frac{4}{3} \). Therefore, it is a rational number.

  2. Pi (π): This is a well-known irrational number, as it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Its decimal representation is non-repeating and non-terminating.

  3. Square root (without specifying): If this refers to \( \sqrt{2} \), \( \sqrt{3} \), or any square root of a non-perfect square number, then it represents an irrational number. However, if it refers to the square root of a perfect square, like \( \sqrt{4} \), it would be rational.

  4. 4/5: This is a fraction and can be expressed as the decimal 0.8, which is a terminating decimal. Therefore, it is a rational number.

In conclusion, the only clear irrational number from the options given is:

  • Pi (π).

If the square root refers to a specific non-perfect square (like \( \sqrt{2} \)), it would also be irrational, but that is not clear from the phrasing provided.

square root of 2

Let's evaluate each option to determine which represent rational numbers:

  1. Square root of 9: The square root of 9 is 3, which can be expressed as the fraction \( \frac{3}{1} \). Therefore, this is a rational number.

  2. 1.25: This can be expressed as the fraction \( \frac{5}{4} \). Therefore, it is a rational number.

  3. -1 7/10: This is a mixed number that can be converted into the improper fraction \( -\frac{17}{10} \). Therefore, it is a rational number.

  4. Square root of 2: This is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Its decimal representation is non-repeating and non-terminating.

Based on this evaluation, the rational numbers among the given options are:

  • Square root of 9
  • 1.25
  • -1 7/10

So, the correct answers are the first three options.

Number line

The visual representation commonly used to help understand the concepts of Rational Numbers is a number line.

A number line effectively illustrates how rational numbers are represented on a continuous scale, showing both positive and negative values, as well as fractions and whole numbers.

Therefore, the correct response is:

  • Number line.
True or False: Rational numbers include fractions, whole numbers and decimals that do not repeat or terminate.

False.

Rational numbers include fractions, whole numbers, and decimals that do repeat or terminate. However, decimals that do not repeat or terminate are considered irrational numbers, not rational numbers.

To clarify:

  • Rational numbers: Can be expressed as a fraction (e.g., \( \frac{1}{2}, 3, 0.75 \)) and include integers, finite decimals, and repeating decimals.
  • Irrational numbers: Cannot be expressed as a simple fraction and include non-repeating, non-terminating decimals (e.g., \( \pi, \sqrt{2} \)).

So the statement is false.
