Answer: Rational

Step-by-step explanation

The expression simplifies to 1/2, as shown in the scratch work below.


\sqrt{(1)/(4)}=(√(1))/(√(4))=(1)/(2)\\\\\text{ Therefore, } \sqrt{(1)/(4)}=(1)/(2)

The fraction 1/2 is rational because it is a ratio of two integers. The denominator cannot be zero.
