Is the following fraction rational or irrational? Why?
8/9
It is rational because it is a fraction. A number being able to be written as fraction is the definition of what makes a number rational.
What is the set of all positive counting numbers starting with 0?
whole numbers
Compare the following by changing the ? to an inequality sign
sqrt(16) ? 3
sqrt(16)=4

4
Change the decimal below to a fraction.
0.22
22/100 = 11/50
Is the following number rational or irrational?
90
It is rational. All integers can be made into fractions by placing the number over 1 as shown.
90 = 90/1
True or false: All real numbers are either rational or irrational.
true
Compare the following by changing the ? to an inequality sign.
5 ? sqrt(35)
A reasonable estimate for the square root of 35 is 5.9, so therefore
5<sqrt(35)
Between which two square roots is
sqrt (58)
7 and 8
Change the following fraction to a decimal.
7/11
0.6363...
Is the following number rational or irrational? Why?
sqrt (5)
Irrational because square roots of non-perfect squares are irrational.
List the subsets of rational numbers from the least specific to the most specific.
integers, whole, natural
Compare the following by changing the ? to an inequality sign.
-7/2 ? -2.5
-7/2=-3 1/2=-3.5
-7/2<-2.5
Which point would best represent
sqrt (99)
D
Change the following decimal to a fraction.
0.8
0.8 = 8/10 =4/5
Is the following decimal rational or irrational? Why?
2.34343434...
It is rational because repeating decimals can be made into fractions
2.343434...=2 34/99
List all of the number sets that the following number belongs. Then name the most specific set.
4 sqrt(121)
Because it is equal to 44, it belongs to the sets integers, whole numbers, and natural numbers. Natural numbers is the most specific set.
4 sqrt(121) = 4times11=44

Is the following number rational or irrational? Why?
-58
It is rational. -58 can be made into a fraction
-58 = - 58/1
In which subsets of the real number set does the following value belong?
-sqrt(49)
