Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers (i.e., a fraction) where the denominator is not zero. Let's evaluate each of the given numbers:

1. **√72** - This is not a rational number because it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Its decimal representation is approximately 8.49 (a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal).

2. **11/23** - This is a rational number because it is expressed as a fraction of two integers.

3. **√14** - This is not a rational number because it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Its decimal representation is approximately 3.74 (a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal).

4. **√36** - This is a rational number because it equals 6, which can be expressed as 6/1 (an integer divided by an integer).

5. **2.7** - This is a rational number because it can be expressed as 27/10 (a fraction).

6. **π** - This is not a rational number; it is an irrational number as it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers.

The three numbers that are rational from the list are:

- **11/23**
- **√36**
- **2.7**
