Answer
A
7 point 6 0 8
B
negative 5 and 4 over 11
C
18 point 4 repeating 6
D
square root of 31

Explanation

A rational number can be written as a ratio of integers; fractions and terminating or repeating decimals are rational. Negative 5 and 4/11 is a fraction-based mixed number, 18.4666… repeating is a repeating decimal, and 7.608 is a terminating decimal. Since 31 is not a perfect square, √31 cannot be written as a ratio of integers, so the number that is not rational is square root of 31.
