Rational numbers can be expressed as a fraction....denominator not equal to zero

If the number is not rational then it is irrational.....

So if it cannot be expressed as a fraction then it is irrational

32.111111111111 repeating is rational

Let x equal the number 32.111111111111111repeating

10x = 321.111111111111111repeating
subtract these
So 9x = 289.0
So x = 289 /9

So 32.11111111repeating is same as the fraction 289/9 so it is rational

Rational Numbers are those which can be made by dividing one integer by another. Integers are not fractions.
For example - 1/2 is a rational number
0.75 is a rational number (3/4)
