Question What type of number will result from the sum of 23 and 25−−√ ? rational irrational whole number zero Enter the number that corresponds to the correct answer. (1 point) The sum of 23 and 25−−√ will result in the type of number described by Option #

Answer 1

To determine the type of number resulting from the sum of \( 23 + \sqrt{25} \), let's first calculate \( \sqrt{25} \).

\[
\sqrt{25} = 5
\]

Now we can find the sum:

\[
23 + \sqrt{25} = 23 + 5 = 28
\]

Now we can categorize the resulting number, 28:

- It is a whole number.
- It is also a rational number since it can be expressed as a fraction (e.g., \( \frac{28}{1} \)).
- It is not an irrational number.
- It is not zero.

Thus, the correct answer corresponds to the type of number that is a whole number.

Therefore, the answer is:

**3** (whole number)
