Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers (where the denominator is not zero).
Let's analyze the given numbers:
- 11/23 - This is a fraction of two integers, so it is a rational number.
- 2.7 - This can be expressed as 27/10, which is a fraction of two integers, so it is a rational number.
- π - This is an irrational number; it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers, so it is not rational.
- √72 - This can be simplified to 6√2, where √2 is irrational. Thus, √72 is also irrational, so it is not rational.
- √14 - This is also an irrational number, so it is not rational.
- √36 - This simplifies to 6, which is an integer and can be expressed as 6/1, so it is a rational number.
Thus, the rational numbers from the list are:
- 11/23
- 2.7
- √36
So the three that apply are: 11/23, 2.7, and √36.
