Answer:


\large\boxed{\mathtt{7.\bar{4}}}

Explanation:


\textsf{We are asked to identify the rational number out of given options.}


\textsf{First, let's review what a rational number is.}


\large\underline{\textsf{What is a Rational Number?}}


\textsf{A Rational Number is a number that terminates.}


\textsf{A Rational Number is also any number that can be represented as a fraction.}


\textsf{Let's identify if our given options are Rational Numbers.}


\mathtt{√(60) = 7.74.... (Irrational)}


\mathtt{7.\bar{4} = 7 (4)/(9) \ (Rational) \ \checkmark}


\mathtt{√(29) = 5.38.... \ (Irrational)}


\mathtt{\pi = 3.14159.... \ (Irrational)}


√(60) , √(29) , \textsf{and} \ \pi \textsf{ are irrational due to the decimals never terminating.}


\textsf{Hence, our final answer is}
\mathtt{7.\bar{4}.}
