Answer: irrational number

Explanation:

Let us write it out.


\displaystyle (23)/(√(3) )

Next, we will define ratoinal and irrational.

A rational number is a number that can be written as a whole number, fraction, or decimal that ends / repeats.

An irrational number is any number that cannot be turned into a fraction.

Let us see which category the number given falls into.


\displaystyle (23)/(√(3) ) = 13.27905619\;\;\;\;\;\;\text {it goes on...}

This means
(23)/(√(3) ) is an irrational number.
