A student says, “Every number with a non-terminating decimal expansion is irrational.” Which of the following examples disproves the student's statement?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(0.\overline{27}\)

\(0.\overline{27}=0.272727\ldots\) is a non-terminating recurring decimal, and it equals \(\frac{27}{99}=\frac{3}{11}\). Hence, it is rational even though its decimal expansion does not end. \(\sqrt{2}\), \(\pi\), and \(0.101001000100001\ldots\) have non-terminating, non-recurring decimal expansions, so they are irrational. Exam tip: A non-terminating recurring decimal is rational; a non-terminating non-recurring decimal is irrational.
