What type of number will result from the product of 36−−√

To find the product of \( \sqrt{36} \) and \( \frac{1}{2} \), let's first simplify \( \sqrt{36} \).

\[
\sqrt{36} = 6
\]

Now, we can multiply:

\[
6 \times \frac{1}{2} = 3
\]

The result \( 3 \) is a rational number.

Thus, the type of number will be described by the option **rational**.
