Which of the following statements is true?

A) √5/8 is rational and √4/9 is irrational
B) √5/8 is irrational and √4/9 is rational
C) both √5/8 and √4/8 are rational
D) both √5/8 and √4/8 are irrational

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A rational number is one that can be represented as the ratio of two whole numbers

so

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{5}}{8}[/tex] -----> Is not a rational number, because √5 is not a whole number, is a irrational number

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{4}}{9}=\frac{2}{9}[/tex] ---> Is a rational number, because can be represented as the ratio of two whole numbers

therefore

√5/8 is irrational and √4/9 is rational
