I have a question. Is the square route of 5/8 rational or irrational?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

do you mean \(\frac{\sqrt5}8\) or \(\sqrt\frac58 \) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

well both have a factor of sqrt5 which makes them irrational

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So they're both right?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

because 5 is a prime number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay well thank you! :)
