The expression 47/3 + √121 simplifies to 47/3 + 11, since √121 equals 11. Both 47/3 and 11 are rational numbers, and the sum of two rational numbers is always rational, so the result will be rational.
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)
