Final answer:

The value that is irrational among the given options is 'π/19.' This is because pi (π) is an irrational number, and dividing it by an integer does not make it rational. All other options represent rational numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which value is irrational out of the given options. An irrational number is a number that cannot be written as a simple fraction - that is, it's not a ratio of two integers. Its decimal form does not stop and does not repeat. Let's evaluate the options:

  • A. -6.7 - This is a decimal number that terminates, so it is not irrational.
  • B. -6.7 - This is repeated, and it is the same as option A, still not an irrational number.
  • C. π/19 - Pi (π) is an irrational number, and dividing it by an integer (19 in this case) does not make it rational. So, this is irrational.
  • D. 25 - This is an integer, which is a type of rational number, so it is not irrational.
  • E. 13.4 - This is also a decimal number that terminates, so it is not irrational.

Therefore, the answer is C. π/19, which is an irrational number.
