When you divide te ribbon into n number of pieces, you get the length of each bit as, 25 / n
where n is any natural number greater than zero.
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p / q of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q
25 / n is of the form p / q , so 25 / n is a rational number.
