Answer 1

The correct answer is A) The sum of the two is a rational number.

Explanation:

Since both 5 and 7 are rational numbers, we know that their sum is also a rational number. This is true for any value of rational numbers.

The sum of x and y is a rational number

Explanation:

X+Y or 5+7=12

A rational number is any number that can be divided without going on and on forever.
