Question

Select two numbers that have a rational sum.

a) √2 and √3
b) 0.5 and 0.75
c) π and e
d) 2² and 3³

Answer 1

Two numbers that have a rational sum are 0.5 and 0.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find two numbers that have a rational sum, we need to select numbers that can be expressed as a fraction.

From the given options, b) 0.5 and 0.75 have a rational sum.

0.5 can be written as 1/2 and 0.75 can be written as 3/4. When we add these fractions, we get (1/2) + (3/4) = (2/4) + (3/4) = 5/4, which is a rational number. Therefore, the correct answer is b) 0.5 and 0.75.
