it is a real number because it can become .75 and that is a real number.
it is a rational number because assume that 3/4 is a rational number. Since every rational number can be expressed as a/b form which do not have any common factor so we can say that a/b = 3/4 Squaring both side we get: a2/b2 = 9/16 a2 = (9/16) b2 Or we can say b2 = a2(16/9) a2 is divided by 9. So we can say that a is divided by 9. It implies that there exist some number c such that a/9 = c a = 9c By squaring both side we get a2 = 81 c2 Put the value of a2 from the equation a2 = (9/16) b2 we get: (9/16)b2 = 81c2 this tends to b2/ 9 = 16 c2 It implies that b2 is divided by 9. So we can say that b is divided by 9. This implies that a and b have a common factor 9. Since a and b have common factor therefore 3/4 is not a irrational number. Hence 3/4 is a rational number.
