Yes, the sum of the two rational numbers will produce a rational number. The expression \( \frac{47}{3} + \frac{a}{121} \) (where \( a \) is any integer) is the sum of two rational numbers, and since the set of rational numbers is closed under addition, the result will also be a rational number.
Consider the expression 47/3 + rational symbol over 121
. Will the sum of the two rational numbers produce a rational number? Explain your reasoning in 1–2 sentences.(2
