To determine whether each of the following expressions is rational, we review them one by one.

  1. \( 13\sqrt{1} \): This simplifies to \( 13 \), which is a rational number.

  2. \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \): This expression is not rational because it involves the square root of 3, which is an irrational number.

  3. \( 3\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3} \): Simplifying this gives us \( 3 \times 3 = 9 \), which is rational.

  4. \( 3\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{3} \): This simplifies to \( (3 + 1)\sqrt{3} = 4\sqrt{3} \), which is not rational because it includes the irrational number \( \sqrt{3} \).

  5. \( \sqrt[3]{1} \): This simplifies to \( 1 \), which is rational.

In summary, the rational expressions among the options given are:

  • \( 13\sqrt{1} \) (which equals 13)
  • \( 3\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3} \) (which equals 9)
  • \( \sqrt[3]{1} \) (which equals 1)

Therefore, the rational options are \( 13\sqrt{1} \), \( 3\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3} \), and \( \sqrt[3]{1} \).
