Rational and Irrational Numbers

1. Rational Numbers Any number that can be converted into a fraction.

Including: mixed numbers, percents, improper fractions, repeating decimals, and terminating decimals.

Example: 5 ½ , 10/5, 0.33333…, 0.515, 25%2. Irrational Numbers

Any number that can’t be converted into a fraction. Including: nonrepeating decimals, imperfect squares,

and pi (π). Example: √57, 0.521257392…,

Identifying Numbers as Rational or Irrational.

Before we start to classify numbers, we will make a foldable and recall what we introduced yesterday.

You must WATCH to make your foldable, I will not verbally give you directions!

Identifying Numbers as Rational or Irrational

Rational Irrational

Types of Numbers


Rational Numbers

Irrational Numbers


In order to determine whether or not a number is rational or irrational, we must convert it into a decimal.


Example 1: ¾ Converted to a decimal it is 0.75

Is this rational or irrational? Why?

Example 2: 53% Converted to a decimal it is 0.53



Example 3: -5 ½ Converted to a decimal it is -5.5


Example 4: √5 Converted to a decimal it is 5



Example 5: 2/3 Converted to a decimal it is 0.6666666….


Example 6: √150 Converted to a decimal it is 12.247448…..



Example 7: √100 Converted to a decimal it is 10

Is this rational or irrational?

Example 8: 0.71711711171111…. Is this rational or irrational?

Example 9: -0.5% Converted to a decimal it is -0.005

Is this rational or irrational?


Example 10: 152

Converted to a decimal it is 225 Is this rational or irrational?

Simplifying Expressions

Before we can identify expressions as rational or irrational, we must simplify them.Depending on the number, we simplify in different ways.


Example 1:

This problem is actually saying √100 divided by √25. To solve, take the square root of the top number, take

the square root of the top number, and then divide. √100 = 10 √25 = 5 10/5 = 2

Is 2 rational or irrational? Rational

10025


Example 2:

This problem is actually saying √49 divided by √10. To solve, take the square root of the top number, take

the square root of the top number, and then divide. √49 = 7 √10 = 3.162… 7/3.162… = 0.4517…

Is 0.4517… rational or irrational? irrational

Is there an easier way to determine whether or not these type of expressions are rational or not? Write your rule below! Think with your partner for 1 minute.

Sometimes, you will see expressions like this:

Example 9: 3√25 This problem is telling you to multiply the

square root of 25 by 3. In order to solve this, you do what was stated

above √25 = 5 x 3 = 15 OR identify if the square is perfect or imperfect. If the square is perfect, the answer will be

rational. If the square is imperfect, the answer will be

irrational.


Example 10: √3 + 2 The same rule applies to any number that has a

square root in it. Based off of what we discovered earlier and applied in

the previous example, is the answer to this expression rational or irrational?

Try example 11- 13 with your partner.11.4√10012.√39 + 713.-7√16


Complete examples 14 – 18 on your own.14. √50 – 1015.4√16916.√144 + 617.½ √518.-3√36


The last type of expressions you might see include those with squares and π. Example 19: (√15) 2

According to PEMDAS, you take the square root of 15 and then square your answer. Determine if its rational or irrational.

However, there is an easier way to solve this.• Think with your partner for 1 minute.• Rule for solving these problems:Squaring and square root are opposite. So they simply

cancel each other out so determine if the number in the radical is I or R!

Example 20: (√-10) 2

Rational or irrational?


Work on examples 21 – 24 with your partner. DO NOT MOVE ON TO EXAMPLES 25 – 27.

21.(√17) 2

22.(√100) 2

23.(√½) 2

24.(√π) 2

25.(√39) 2


If you see a problem with π (pi), you must make sure it is not being cancelled out before you assume its irrational. Example 26:

Pi on top cancels pi on bottom so your problem is √10/√15. When you simplify your answer is irrational.

This will not always happen. Example 27:

Rational and Irrational Numbers Game

The class will be broken up into teams.Each team will get a group of note cards

indicating the different types of numbers.Each team will get a chance to identify

numbers shown to the class by me. If the expression is rational, each team will then

determine the more specific subset it could go into.Afterward, a student will come up to the

board and put it into our number diagram.
