Understand what 'rational' and 'irrational' actually mean and you will find these questions easy.

 

A rational number is just a number that can be expressed as a ratio (like a fraction) of two whole numbers.  For example 0.3 is rational because you can write it as the ratio of the two whole numbers 3 and 10   to get 0.3 = 3/10.

An irrational number is one that CAN't be expressed as a ratio of two whole numbers. An obvious one is pi, so is sqrt(2).
