Which statement correctly describes the number V49?

Question

A.
The number is rational because it can be written as a terminating decimal.
B.
The number is rational because it can be written as a repeating decimal.
C.
The number is irrational because it can be written as a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal.
D.
The number is irrational because it can be written as a terminating decimal.

Answer 1

To evaluate the statement regarding the number \( V49 \), we need to clarify what \( V49 \) represents. Generally, if \( V49 \) refers to \( \sqrt{49} \), then:

\[ \sqrt{49} = 7 \]

7 is a whole number and can also be expressed as the fraction \(\frac{7}{1}\), which means it is a rational number.

Based on that, the most relevant statement is:

A. The number is rational because it can be written as a terminating decimal.

If, however, \( V49 \) is meant to denote something else, please clarify, and I can adjust the explanation accordingly. But under the standard interpretation, statement A is correct.
