To determine which of the options is irrational, we need to identify whether each of them can be expressed as a fraction of two integers (i.e., a rational number).
a. \( \sqrt{81} = 9 \) (rational)
b. \( \sqrt{27} = 3\sqrt{3} \) (irrational)
c. -14.7 (rational)
d. \( \frac{3}{4} \) (rational)
The only irrational number among the options is:
**b. \( \sqrt{27} \)**
