Answer:


(2)/(7)+√(121)

Explanation:

Given: expressions

To find: expression that denotes a rational number

Solution:

A number of the form
(p)/(q) where p and q are integers and
q\\eq 0 is said to be a rational number.

Sum of a rational and irrational number is irrational.

In
(5)/(9)+√(18),
(5)/(9) is a rational number and
√(18) is an irrational number

So,
(5)/(9)+√(18) is not a rational number.

In
\pi+√(16)=\pi+4,
\pi is an irrational number and 4 is a rational number

So,
\pi+√(16) is not a rational number.

In
(2)/(7)+√(121)=(2)/(7)+11=(2+77)/(7)=(79)/(7),
(79)/(7) is a rational number

So,
(2)/(7)+√(121) is a rational number

In
(3)/(10)+√(11),
(3)/(10) is a rational number and
√(11) is an irrational number

So,
(3)/(10)+√(11) is not a rational number.
