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 \(q
eq 0\), then \(\frac{p}{q}\) is a rational number.
So, 8 and 5 are integers, so then 8/5 is a rational number.
