Rational numbers, like 3.14, can be expressed as the ratio of two integers and have a finite or repeating decimal expansion. In contrast, irrational numbers, such as pi, cannot be expressed as a simple fraction and have non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansions.

examples, describe the difference
between rational and irrational
numbers in 1–2 sentences.
