Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. Therefore, any whole number (such as 2 or -5) and any decimal that terminates or repeats (such as 0.5639) are rational numbers. The other two numbers in the set, 2.3580044024... and 11eacce6_21fa_a4a6_9f49_8984a4e5d6f3_TB7896_11, are not clearly defined and cannot be determined if they are rational or not, so they are not included in the answer choice. Therefore, the set contains the rational numbers -29, 2, -5, and 0.5639.
