Math Problem Statement

Select ALL of the numbers that are rational.

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/2Not rational. π (pi) is an irrational number, so π/2 is also irrational.
  • C: √13Not rational. Square roots of non-perfect squares (like 13) are irrational.
  • D: -2/3 → Rational. It’s a fraction of two integers.
  • E: 2√10Not 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.
