@abbyfox101 Do you know the difference between a rational number and an irrational number?

that is between*

It is always a good idea to review your lessons before you start an exercise. It will save you time. Try the following if you do not have your notes: https://www.mathsisfun.com/irrational-numbers.html

okay

So @abbyfox101 Is sqrt(81) a rational number? Is sqrt(95) a rational number?

8. anonymous

square root 18

it's a rational number

12. mathmate

It is a rational number if it can be represented exactly by a fraction of integers. If you claim that it is a rational number, you have to be able to do that. I cannot! Can you show me the integer fraction that represents exactly sqrt(18)?

13. mathmate

Read https://www.mathsisfun.com/irrational-numbers.html it will hep you understand better, especially with examples.

Ok so it's not $\sqrt{18}$ ok I got that part it's $\sqrt{95}$

This is not a multiple choice question that you have!

18. anonymous

Ya I know. So sqrt(95) is a rational number right?

19. mathmate

It is a rational number if you can find an integer fraction to represent the number, e.g. 5/6 is a rational number, because it can be represented by a fraction of integers.

ok
