Consider the expression 47/3+square root 121. Will the sum of two rational numbers produce a rational or irrational number? Find the sum and explain the reasoning in 1 short simple sentence

1 answer

The expression \( \frac{47}{3} + \sqrt{121} = \frac{47}{3} + 11 = \frac{47}{3} + \frac{33}{3} = \frac{80}{3} \); the sum of two rational numbers is always rational.
