(1 point)
The sum of 23
and 25−−√
will result in the type of number described by Option #
.

Answer 1

wrong

Answer 2

1,2, or 4

Answer 3

To determine the type of number that results from the sum of \( 23 \) and \( \sqrt{25} \):

1. Calculate \( \sqrt{25} \):
\[
\sqrt{25} = 5
\]

2. Now calculate the sum:
\[
23 + 5 = 28
\]

The resulting number, \( 28 \), is a whole number.

Thus, the type of number described is a **whole number**, which corresponds to Option #3.

Answer 4

I apologize for any misunderstanding. Let's reevaluate the calculation carefully.

1. The expression is \( 23 + \sqrt{25} \).
2. First, we calculate \( \sqrt{25} \):
\[
\sqrt{25} = 5
\]
3. Now, we add \( 23 \) and \( 5 \):
\[
23 + 5 = 28
\]

The result, \( 28 \), is indeed a whole number.

Thus, the correct type of number that results from the sum of \( 23 \) and \( \sqrt{25} \) is **whole number**.

Answer 5

Thank you for your clarification. Based on your options:

- **Rational**: A number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction of two integers (e.g., \( \frac{a}{b} \) where \( b \neq 0 \)).
- **Irrational**: A number that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction (e.g., non-repeating, non-terminating decimals like \( \pi \) or \( \sqrt{2} \)).
- **Whole Number**: A non-negative integer (0, 1, 2, ...).
- **Zero**: The integer 0.

The values included in the sum \( 23 + \sqrt{25} \):
- \( 23 \) is a rational number.
- \( \sqrt{25} = 5 \) is also a rational number.

The sum \( 23 + 5 = 28 \) is again a rational number and a whole number.

Among the choices you provided (1, 2, or 4):
- **Rational (1)** is correct, as the sum \( 28 \) is a rational number.

The correct answer is **1** (rational).
