To classify the number 38, we first note that it is a whole number. All whole numbers are considered rational numbers because they can be expressed as a fraction (in this case, 38 can be expressed as 38/1).
Now, regarding the decimal representations given:
- **0.375** is a rational number as it can be expressed as the fraction 375/100.
- **0.375 repeating** (denoted as 0.375¯) is also rational because repeating decimals can also be expressed as fractions.
Looking at the options given, since the number 38 itself is a rational number, the appropriate classification from the choices would be:
**Rational Number, 0.375** (as it represents a finite decimal, though it’s not directly related to the number 38 itself).
However, if you meant to classify just the number 38 itself, the correct classification would be **Rational Number.**
If you're answering based on the context of the question as posed, please note that there's some confusion since 38 does not equal 0.375 in value. If you are asked to classify 38 specifically, it is a rational number.
