The number is likely irrational, but that's hard to say, since we don't know what the ... means
Since there are only 10 digits, does the sequence stop when it gets to zero?
0.9876543210 is clearly rational
or, when we get to zero, does the sequence start all over again?
0.9876543210... repeating is also a rational number:
1097393690/111111111

I apologize for any confusion. Based on the information provided, if the sequence 0.9876... continues indefinitely without repeating or terminating, then it would be an irrational number. However, if the sequence eventually repeats or terminates, then it would be a rational number.
