Did you know that in the world of mathematics, numbers can be classified as either rational or irrational? To determine this classification, we have to examine whether the sum can be expressed as a fraction or not. In this exercise, let's drag each sum and classify them accordingly. First, we have Pi + 8, which is an example of an irrational number. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction and Pi is a well-known example of this. Next, we have 2 6/7 + 5/13, which is an example of a rational number. Rational numbers can be expressed as a fraction, and this sum can be simplified to a fraction. Moving on, we have 1.1 + 2.2, which is also a rational number. Although it involves decimal numbers, they can still be expressed as fractions with a denominator of 10. Finally, we have 6 + 0.01020304… This sum may seem simple, but it is actually an example of an irrational number. The ellipsis indicates that the decimal continues indefinitely without repeating, making it impossible to express as a fraction. By classifying these sums as either rational or irrational, we can further understand the fascinating nature of numbers in mathematics.
