Is 1.3 a Rational Number?

As we all knows that, all the rational number are the ratio of two integer numbers in the form of a / b such that b can never be same as zero. Means a and b both are integer number and the denominator can never be equal to the zero. Now, talking about is 1.3 a rational number or not. We have to check that if we can write it in the form of rational and if that rational follows the all property of rational then the number is rational otherwise not. As we understand by number that it is a terminating decimal, so it can be easily converted in the form of rational number or fraction of two different integer numbers. So converting 1.3 in the fraction of two integers, we can write: 1.3 = 13 / 10. Since this fraction follows all the property of rational and also not get reduced to any Whole Number. So we can say it's not an integer number or a natural number. The rational number 13/10 is real also, so we can say that 1.3 is a rational number.
