To determine the type of number resulting from the sum of \( \frac{2}{3} \) and \( \sqrt{25} \):
1. Calculate \( \sqrt{25} \):
\[
\sqrt{25} = 5
\]
2. Now, add \( \frac{2}{3} \) and \( 5 \):
\[
\frac{2}{3} + 5 = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{15}{3} = \frac{2 + 15}{3} = \frac{17}{3}
\]
The result \( \frac{17}{3} \) is a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction of two integers.
Thus, the correct type of number is option **1**: rational.
The answer is: **1**
