Consider the expression 47/3 + sqrt (121). Will the sum of the two rational numbers produce a rational number? Explain your reasoning in 1-2 sentences.

Yes, the sum of the two rational numbers will produce a rational number. The term \( \frac{47}{3} \) is rational, and \( \sqrt{121} \), which equals 11, is also rational; the sum of two rational numbers is always rational.
