Yes, it can be expressed as #73/10#.

Explanation:

A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers. In other words it is rational if it can be expressed as a fraction.

If a decimal representation terminates or recurs, then it is also expressible in the form #p/q# for some integers #p# and #q#.
