yes

NO
eg. √5 cannot be written as a fraction, that is why they are called irrational.

the word rational comes from "ratio" which has the form a : b or a/b
that is, a fraction.
So read the choices over again, and reach the correct conclusion.

No.
√7 is not a whole number

#3
<u>ratio</u>nal number means it is a ratio -- or fraction

Also, #1, since it is the square root of its square
For example, 2/3 = √(4/9)
However, if they want only one answer, then #3 is best.
