Answer :
A rational number is any number or numerical value which can be possibly
stated in a fraction form of numbers, it basically has a numerator and
denominator. Furthermore, the values of the numerator and denominator is
integers and doesn’t equal to 0. In this given case of 8 over 5 or 8/5 this
fractional number can still be expressed in a standard numerical form with a
decimal as 1.6 without repeating decimal values. Unlike irrational numbers
which is not possible, take for instance 3.1416… and so on which cannot be “fractionized”.
A rational number is a number that can be that can be expressed as fraction. If the two integers are p and q, where [tex]q \neq 0[/tex], then [tex]\frac{p}{q}[/tex] is a rational number.
So, 8 and 5 are integers, so then 8/5 is a rational number.
