hello

to solve this question, let's us first of all find the value of our answer before knowing what type of number is it.


\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{16}*(4)/(7)=\text{ ?} \\ \sqrt[]{16}=4 \\ 4*(4)/(7)=(16)/(7) \end{gathered}

the value after the operation is 16/7. this number is a rational number

a rational number is any number that is an expression of two integers expressed as a quotient.

basically any fraction can be said to be a rational number
