The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options is a rational number, we need to understand the definition of rational and irrational numbers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Rational Numbers**: - A rational number is defined as any number that can be expressed in the form \( \frac{P}{Q} \), where \( P \) and \( Q \) are integers and \( Q \neq 0 \). - Rational numbers can also be represented as terminating or repeating decimals. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - Let's assume the options are: 1. \( \pi \) 2. \( 5\sqrt{5} \) 3. \( 0.346666... \) (where 6 repeats) 4. \( 0.345206513... \) (non-repeating) 3. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Option 1: \( \pi \)** - \( \pi \) is known to be an irrational number. It cannot be expressed as a fraction of integers. - **Conclusion**: Not a rational number. - **Option 2: \( 5\sqrt{5} \)** - The square root of 5 is also an irrational number. Thus, \( 5\sqrt{5} \) is irrational as it cannot be expressed as a fraction. - **Conclusion**: Not a rational number. - **Option 3: \( 0.346666... \)** - This is a non-terminating decimal, but it is repeating (the digit 6 repeats indefinitely). Therefore, it can be expressed as a fraction. - **Conclusion**: This is a rational number. - **Option 4: \( 0.345206513... \)** - This is a non-terminating decimal and does not repeat. Such numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction of integers. - **Conclusion**: Not a rational number. 4. **Final Conclusion**: - The only rational number among the options is **Option 3: \( 0.346666... \)**. ### Answer: **Option 3 is the rational number.**
