To determine if the sum \( \frac{47}{3} + \sqrt{121} \) produces a rational number, we first evaluate \( \sqrt{121} \), which is 11, a rational number. Since \( \frac{47}{3} \) is also a rational number, the sum of two rational numbers is indeed rational. Thus, the sum will produce a rational number.
Consider the expression 47/3+121−−−√ . Will the sum of the two rational numbers produce a rational number? Explain your reasoning in 1–2 sentences.
