You can simply say a rational number is any number that can be written as a fraction.
To find the number when added to 5 produces a rational number, we have:
A. 5.38516480...
This number has infinite decimal so it is an irrational number
B. 10
10 + 5 = 15
This is not a rational number
C. 0
0 + 5 = 5
This is not a rational number
D. 0.22
0.22 + 5 = 5.22
This is a rational number because it can be written as a fraction
[tex]5.22=\frac{522}{100}[/tex]Therefore, the number that produces a rational number when added to 5 is 0.22
ANSWER:
D. 0.22
