First of all, those aren't equations... equations need to have something equalling something else.

Second of all, those are called irrational numbers :P
Or well... The 10/7 is...

7/3 & 4/3 have repeating decimals.

Think like this
10/7 translates to 3/10 in the long run so they're rationals

Err... Perhaps I'm not in the same math class as you and therefore might have missed a lesson on "strange" numbers, but perhaps you could kindly explain HOW you arrived at the conclusion that they translate into eachother? Because a repeating 1.428571 is NOT, I repeat, NOT equal to 0.3.
Stuff I've made:




"Never think you're perfect or else you'll stop improving yourself."

"Some people say the glass is half full... some half empty... I just wanna know who's been drinking my beer."
