Question

Determine if 23 is rational or irrational and give a reason for your answer.

Answer 1

Rational

Explanation:

The number 23 is a rational number. A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction a/b, where a and b are integers, and b is not equal to zero. In the case of 23, it can be written as 23/1, where both 23 and 1 are integers, and the denominator is not zero. Therefore, 23 is a rational number. In general, any whole number (integer) is also a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction with a denominator of 1.
