Find the product of sqrt(12) and 5/6 What type of number is it? (1 point)

1 answer

To find the product of \(\sqrt{12}\) and \(\frac{5}{6}\), we first simplify \(\sqrt{12}\):

\[ \sqrt{12} = \sqrt{4 \times 3} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{3} = 2\sqrt{3} \]

Now, we can calculate the product:

\[ 2\sqrt{3} \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{2 \times 5}{6} \sqrt{3} = \frac{10}{6} \sqrt{3} = \frac{5}{3} \sqrt{3} \]

The product \(\frac{5}{3} \sqrt{3}\) is an irrational number because it is the product of a rational number \(\frac{5}{3}\) and an irrational number \(\sqrt{3}\).

Thus, the final result is:

\[\frac{5}{3} \sqrt{3}\]

And it is an irrational number.
