It ends, so it is rational.Anything that can be written as a fraction where the top and bottom are integers is rational.Some examples: -1                                                                              =-1/15                                                                              =5/15.23                                                                    =523/100.3333333333333333333333333333333333333....=1/31   2/3                                                                           =5/3Since there seems to be more that need convincing, the number 128.439 can be written as 128439/1000that is a fraction where the top and bottom are integersso 128.439 is rational
