Math Problem Statement
Solution
To determine which numbers are irrational, let's break down the options provided:
A.
This is a fraction of two integers, which makes it a rational number.
B.
This is an integer, and all integers are rational numbers.
C.
This is also an integer, so it is a rational number.
D.
This number has a non-repeating and non-terminating decimal pattern. Any number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers and has a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansion is an irrational number. So this is irrational.
E.
This is a fraction of two integers, so it is a rational number.
Conclusion:
The irrational number in the list is D.
