irratonal numbers can't be written as a/b where a and b are integers and b≠0

so if it can be written in form a/b then it is not irrational


√(36)=6=(6)/(1), it's rational

1/5 is rational


√(60)=2√(15) it's irrational because we can't simplify the square root further

6.3=6.3/1=63/100, rationanl



answer is
√(60) is irrational
