The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "All decimal numbers are...", we need to classify decimal numbers into the appropriate category of numbers. Let's break this down step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Decimal Numbers**: - Decimal numbers are numbers that have a decimal point. Examples include 5.2, 3.4, 0.75, etc. 2. **Identifying Types of Numbers**: - We need to classify decimal numbers into different types of numbers: - **Rational Numbers**: These are numbers that can be expressed as a fraction \( \frac{p}{q} \), where \( p \) and \( q \) are integers and \( q \neq 0 \). Decimal numbers like 5.2 can be expressed as \( \frac{52}{10} \), which makes them rational. - **Irrational Numbers**: These are numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction. They are non-terminating and non-repeating decimals, such as \( \sqrt{2} \) or \( \pi \). - **Real Numbers**: This category includes all rational and irrational numbers. Therefore, all decimal numbers fall under real numbers. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since decimal numbers can be expressed as fractions (and thus are rational), and all rational numbers are included in the set of real numbers, we conclude that: - **All decimal numbers are real numbers**. ### Final Answer: All decimal numbers are **real numbers**. ---
