Answer 1

To determine which of the given sums results in a rational number according to the Closure Property, let's analyze each option:

1. 0.643892553… + 34:

   • 0.643892553... is a rational number (as it can be expressed as a fraction).
   • 34 is also a rational number.
   • The sum of two rational numbers is rational, so this expression results in a rational number.

2. 0.6̅ + 9/10:

   • 0.6̅ (which is 0.666...) is a rational number (it can be expressed as 2/3).
   • 9/10 is clearly a rational number.
   • Thus, this sum also results in a rational number.

3. √36 + √221:

   • √36 = 6 (which is rational).
   • √221 is not a rational number (as 221 is not a perfect square).
   • The sum of a rational number (6) and an irrational number (√221) is irrational, so this doesn't satisfy the closure property.

4. π + 4–√:

   • π is irrational, and 4–√ (which is 2) is rational.
   • The sum of an irrational number (π) and a rational number (2) is irrational.

In conclusion, the sum of 0.643892553… + 34 and 0.6̅ + 9/10 results in rational numbers.

So, the correct responses that produce sums resulting in rational numbers are:

• 0.643892553… + 34
• 0.6̅ + 9/10

Both of these options are valid according to the Closure Property.
