Mia is not correct. The correct response is:
**No, some radicals simplify to rational numbers.**
For example, \(\sqrt{4} + \sqrt{4} = 2 + 2 = 4\), which is a rational number. Additionally, some radicals, such as \(\sqrt{2}\), are irrational, but the presence of a radical does not automatically mean the sum will be irrational.
