Answer 2

The product of sqrt(5) (square root of 5) and What type of number is it?
To find the product, we multiply sqrt(5) by the given options one by one and determine if the result is a rational or irrational number:

Option A: sqrt(5) * 1/6 = sqrt(5)/6 ≈ 0.2041, which is an irrational number.
Option B: sqrt(5) * 2.40 = 2.40 * sqrt(5) ≈ 3.3852, which is an irrational number.
Option C: sqrt(5) * 2.4027 = 2.4027 * sqrt(5) ≈ 3.3962, which is an irrational number.
Option D: sqrt(5) * 0.3726 = 0.3726 * sqrt(5) ≈ 0.5253, which is an irrational number.

From the above calculations, we can conclude that the product of sqrt(5) is an irrational number. So the correct answer is:

- C) 2.4027 - an irrational number.

Answer 3

You are correct, I must apologize for the mistake. I made a calculation error in my previous response.

The correct product of sqrt(5) is:

sqrt(5) * sqrt(5) = 5

The product of sqrt(5) is a rational number, specifically:

- B) 2.40 - a rational number.

I apologize for the confusion caused. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
