How is question 4 in the black box false on Practice - Fractional Exponents - MathBitsNotebook(A1 - CCSS Math)
when the first example in the notes on Rational and Irrational Numbers - MathBitsNotebook(A1 - CCSS Math)
contradicts that?
Rational and Irrational Numbers - MathBitsNotebook(A1 - CCSS Math)
`1/2` is equal to .5.

Relevant page <a href="https://mathbitsnotebook.com/Algebra1/RatIrratNumbers/RNRatIrrat.html">Rational and Irrational Numbers - MathBitsNotebook(A1 - CCSS Math)</a> What I've done so far `1/2` is equal to .5.

@Phinah: The key thing on that page is in the directions at the top:
'Remember, TRUE means "true under any and all conditions".'
Now, the irrational number `sqrt(2)` can be expressed as a decimal, true?

Yes as 1.414

Well, strictly it would be `1.414...`, indicating the decimal form does not repeat or terminate.
