Answer 2

Answer:

127 is rational

Step-by-step explanation:

The number 127 is rational because it can be expressed as the quotient of two integers  p and q in the form:

$\frac {p} {q}$ which can be represented as  $\frac {127} {1}$

While if the number is $\sqrt{127}$, then it would be irrational because the square root of 127 gives a decimal number that goes on and on and cannot be represented as a fraction.
