Select the list which contains ten examples of rational numb
Select the list which contains ten examples of rational numbers. Which of the three lists contains only rational numbers? Squareroot 7, 28, Squareroot 3, pi/2, 7 1/2, pi/3, -2.75, 7, - 5/7, 6.12 -5, 10.6, 654, 5/17, 0.9, 7/3, 1 3/7, -8, Squareroot 2, 0.4 6.12, -4.7, 36, 1/2, 0.333 ..., - 23/8, 19, 1 2/3, 7/5, 0.777
Solution
A rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio. That means it can be written as a fraction, in which both the numerator (the number on top) and the denominator (the number on the bottom) are whole numbers.
Option A has sqrt3 , sqrt7 which are non rational numbers
Option B has all rational numbers except sqrt 2 can also be whoch is irrational numbers
Option has 0.33.... , 0.777 which are irrational numbers
So, Option B has only one irrationla number remaining all are rational numbers
None of them contain 10 rational numbers
