Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:    The statement "25.8125 is irrational" is false


Discussion:

25.8125 = 25 + 0.8125 =  

25 +  8125/1000 =

Multiply and divide 25 by 1000 and combine terms over a common denominator:

= 25000/1000 + 8125/ 1000

= 33125/1000

Divide  numerator and denominator by 125 ( = 5^3):

=   265 / 8

which is a rational number.


Thank you,

MrB
