PwP qWq

OLIVER69:

A rational number is the one which can be represented in the form of P/Q where P and Q are integers and Q ≠ 0. But an irrational number cannot be written in the form of simple fractions. ⅔ is an example of a rational number whereas √2 is an irrational number. So the example that was just given tells you that √2 is irrational and 15 is rational because it's an integer. But the question asks the sum of those two so add 15 and √2 which equals 16.4142136. And once it's simplfied it can written as a simple fraction, so the answer is The sum of this equation is rational. I hope this could help

mrfunnybunny:

just add 15 and the square root of 2
