Question 3 • Integrated Math II CR SUSD (EX)

Which of the following will result in a rational answer?

Answer
A
adding the square root of a perfect square to pi
B
adding the square root of a non perfect square to a whole number
C
multiplying pi by a fraction
D
multiplying a fraction by a repeating decimal

Explanation

A fraction is rational, and a repeating decimal is also rational. The product of two rational numbers is rational, so multiplying a fraction by a repeating decimal gives a rational answer. The other choices involve π or the square root of a non-perfect square, which are irrational; the stated operations do not make their results rational.
