Which number is irrational? A. 0.46 B. fraction numerator square root of 100 over denominator 3 end fraction C. square root of 8 D. Syntax error from line 1 column 53 to line 1 column 60. Unexpected '0'.

irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction when in simpliest form. examples are pi.
Note that numbers with repeating decimals are rational
so its B? @StudyGurl14
biggest hint! Any sqrt of a number when the result of it is not a whole number So sqrt of 25, 9 , 4 have 5, 3, 2 but sqrt of 7, 6, 5, and on have irrational results.
D
think about the results for the sqrt of 7,6,10, 12, or 14 all of those results are irrational. look familiar?
C! @timo86m
think about the result of the sqrt of 8
so your saying its A?
hint: a number N is irrational, when we can not find a pair of integer numebers, say p, and q, such that: \[N = \frac{p}{q}\]
a classical example of that statement, which is present in any mathematical textbook, is this: \[\sqrt 2 \] is an irrational number
