Answer 2

The correct answer is Irrational, because one factor is irrational. In this case, the square root of 16 is 4, which is a rational number. However, the multiplication also involves the rational number 5/12, resulting in an irrational number.

Answer 3

Yes, I am sure. The square root of 16 is a rational number (4) and the fraction 5/12 is a rational number as well. When you multiply a rational number with a rational number, the result will always be a rational number. Therefore, the correct answer is Rational.
