Final answer:

The expression that results in a rational number is L/N = 1/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which expression results in a rational number, we need to understand that rational numbers are those that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers (M/N, where M and N are integers and N is not equal to 0).

Looking at the given values, we can see that all the variables (L, M, N, P) are integers except for M, which is a decimal (2.33). Therefore, the expression that includes M as a decimal does not result in a rational number.

So, the expression that results in a rational number would be L/N = 2/16 = 1/8.
