Math Problem Statement
Solution
In this image, the question asks to select all the numbers that are rational.
Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers (a fraction).
Let's evaluate the options:
- A: -1/7 → Rational. It’s a fraction of two integers.
- B: π/2 → Not rational. π (pi) is an irrational number, so π/2 is also irrational.
- C: √13 → Not rational. Square roots of non-perfect squares (like 13) are irrational.
- D: -2/3 → Rational. It’s a fraction of two integers.
- E: 2√10 → Not rational. √10 is irrational, so multiplying it by 2 keeps it irrational.
Correct Rational Numbers:
- A (-1/7)
- D (-2/3)
It appears the selections made in the image (A and D) are correct.
