The sum of 23
and 25−−√
will result in the type of number described by Option #

Answer 1

To determine the type of number that results from the sum of \( 23 \) and \( \sqrt{25} \):

1. Calculate \( \sqrt{25} \): \[ \sqrt{25} = 5 \]

2. Now, add \( 23 \) and \( 5 \): \[ 23 + 5 = 28 \]

3. The result, \( 28 \), is a whole number.

Thus, the type of number that results from the sum is a whole number.

The correct answer corresponds to Option #3 (whole number).
