Answer:


√(49)

Explanation:

Define a rational number by a number able to expressed a fraction where the denominator is not 0 or 1.

Non-terminating (never-ending) decimals cannot be expressed as a fraction and therefore are irrational. However, recall that
√(49)=7, which can be expressed as a fraction (e.g.
(14)/(2), etc). Thus, the answer is
\boxed{√(49)}.
