Answer:

-89 is rational

√101 is irrational

Explanation:

An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a fraction in terms of whole numbers.

-89 = -89/1 which is a fraction and is therefore rational

√101 does cannot be put into a fraction of whole numbers and is therefore irrational
