Answer 2

Answer 3

and i dont quite get it

Answer 4

you need to know how numbers are classified.
for example, see http://www.basic-mathematics.com/classification-of-numbers.html

3 of your numbers are rational, and one is irrational

Answer 5

If you simplify \[\sqrt{48}\] then you would get a possibilirty if a negative number.
-55.1 is already negative.
So is -51/2
The only positive is 26.6.
Therefore that is the answer

Answer 6

You are looking for rational as opposed to irrational. Three are rational and one is not.

Answer 7

negative numbers have nothing to do with the correct answer to this.

Answer 8

Answer 9

@Ibbutibbu. that is incorrect.

Answer 10

Oh. sorry

Answer 11

Three of those numbers are rational. Rational numbers a. are repeating decimals b. terminating decimals, or c. can be expressed as a fraction. The square root of 48 is irrational because when you plug in the square root of 48 on your calculator, you get a decimal that does not repeat, nor does it terminate. It just goes on and on...
