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.(2 points)

To evaluate the expression \( \frac{47}{3} + \sqrt{121} \), we note that \( \sqrt{121} = 11 \), which is a rational number. Since the sum of two rational numbers \( \frac{47}{3} \) (which is rational) and \( 11 \) (also rational) is always rational, the resultant sum \( \frac{47}{3} + 11 \) will indeed produce a rational number.
