Answer:

1.
√(100) √(100)

2. 13.5 +
√(81)

3.
√(9) + √(729)

6.
(3)/(5) + 2.5\\(3+12.5)/(5)\\(15.5)/(5)\\= 3.1

These four options are rational;


Explanation:

1.
√(100) √(100) equals to 10 * 10 = 100 which is rational

2. 13.5 +
√(81) equals 13.5 + 9 = 22.5

3.
√(9) + √(729) -- 3+27 = 30

6.
(3)/(5) + 2.5\\(3+12.5)/(5)\\(15.5)/(5)\\= 3.1

Option 4 and 5 are irrational because they include
√(353) and
√(216) which are not a perfect square and their answers will be non recurring and non terminating decimal fraction.
