1. Rational numbers can be written as a ratio (fraction)
Whole numbers are rational. 5 = 5/1, for example.
Square roots are NOT rational. Example: √3
However, square roots of square numbers can be simplified, and are therefore rational. <span>√4 = 2, rational.</span>
√4 + <span>√16 = 2 + 4 = 6. rational
</span>√5 + √36...<span> irrational
</span>√9 + <span>√24... irrational
</span>2 × <span>√4 = 2 × 2 = 4. rational
</span>√49 × <span>√81 = 7 × 9 = 63. rational
</span>3√12... irrational

A, since neither 3 nor 12 is a square but we end up with 6.
