Among the numbers listed (148, 149, 150.151), the ones that are clearly rational are 148, 149, and 150 because they can be written as a fraction with an integer numerator and a nonzero integer denominator. For example, 148 can be written as 148/1, 149 as 149/1, and 150 as 150/1. However, the number 150.151 might initially seem less straightforward since it's a decimal. But in fact, it too is a rational number because it can be written as a fraction. The decimal 150.151 is equivalent to 150151/1000. Since both the numerator and the denominator are integers, this number is rational.
