Answer 1

The two rational numbers are 8 and 49 because they can be expressed as a ratio of two integers.

• 8 can be expressed as \( \frac{8}{1} \).
• 49 can be expressed as \( \frac{49}{1} \).
• 0.23 can also be expressed as \( \frac{23}{100} \), making it rational as well.

However, in the case of pairs, the correct choice from the options given is 8 and 49.
