1)  

 Is   37  a rational number



Answer: 2


SOLUTION 1 :

Rember:

Rational numbers can be writtenas ab

(where a and b are integers and b is not zero).When written as decimals , rational numbers terminate or repeat.

Irrational numbers cannot be written as ab
( where a and b are integers and b is not zero). When written as decimals , irrational numbers do not terminateor repeat.
 
Solve:
 
37  is a fraction. So, 37  is a rationa lnumber.


2)  

 Which of the following is a rational number





Answer: 3

Solve:
3 can be written as 31  which is afraction. So,3 is a rational number.
 
5 can be written as 51  which is afraction. So,5 is a rational number.
 
9 can be written as 91  which is afraction. So,9 is a rational number.
 
the rational numbers are 3, 5, 9 
 
So, answer is all the choice is correct

Irrational numbers cannot be written as ab
( where a and b are integers and b is not zero). When written as decimals , irrational numbers do not terminateor repeat.
 
Solve:
 
8.970 is a terminating decimal. So, 8.970 is a rational number.
 
Since 8.970 is a rational number,it is not an irrational number.


5)  

 Is   39  a rational number



Answer: 2
