Which of the following numbers do you think are rational numbers? Explain why.
a) 4.21 repetitive
b) 2.78
Edit
Both are rational
For the first, we have 4 + 21/99 = 4 + 7/33 = 139/33
For the second, we have 2.78 = 2 + 78/100 = 278/100 = 139/50
Thanks, guys, for pointing out my earlier error.....however.....the "Guest's" answer of 41/100 is not correct because the "21" part does not repeat
Check to see that 139/33 results in a "repeating" decimal part of "21"
