  1. Q1. A baker at a flour mill wraps a string once around a circular rim and notes the value pi times the diameter. How should this number be classified?

    • A.a prime number
    • B.an integer
    • C.irrational
    • D.rational

    Answer: C. irrational

    A number is rational if it is p/q with integers p,q (q!=0), i.e. terminating or repeating; otherwise irrational. Here pi is non-terminating non-repeating, so the number is irrational.

  2. Q2. An electrician at a survey camp finds the slant of a 1-by-2 rectangle to be sqrt(5) units. How should this number be classified?

    • A.rational
    • B.irrational
    • C.an integer
    • D.a prime number

    Answer: B. irrational

    A number is rational if it is p/q with integers p,q (q!=0), i.e. terminating or repeating; otherwise irrational. Here sqrt(5) is the root of a non-perfect square, so the number is irrational.

  3. Q3. A jeweller in a foundry computes the side of a 49 square-centimetre tile as sqrt(49). How should this number be classified?

    • A.rational
    • B.an integer
    • C.a prime number
    • D.irrational

    Answer: A. rational

    A number is rational if it is p/q with integers p,q (q!=0), i.e. terminating or repeating; otherwise irrational. Here sqrt(49)=7, an integer, so the number is rational.
