 What are RATIONAL Numbers?

 A number that can be expressed as a fraction or ratio (rational). The numerator and the denominator of the fraction are both integers.  When the fraction is divided out, it becomes a terminating or repeating decimal. ( Even a big, clunky fraction like 7,324,908/56,003,492 is rational, simply because it can be written as a fraction.)

6 can be written as: 6/1 or 6.0 -2 can be written as: -2/1 or -2.0 ½ can be written as: 0.5 -5/4 can be written as: -1.25 2/3 can be written as: ----.66

 What are IRRATIONAL Numbers?

 An irrational number can be written as a decimal, but not as a fraction.  In decimal form, irrational numbers do not repeat in a pattern nor do they terminate.
