Which of the following statements is true?

Both √5/8 and √4/9 are irrational

√5/8 is rational and √4/9 is irrational

√5/8 is irrational and √4/9 is rational

both √5/8 and √4/8 are rational

Verified Answer :

C - √5/8 is irrational and √4/9 is rational 

Answer:

\(\frac{\sqrt{5}}{8}\) is irrational and  \(\frac{\sqrt{4}}{9}\) is rational .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Statements Both √5/8 and √4/9 are irrational  

√5/8 is rational and √4/9 is irrational  

√5/8 is irrational and √4/9 is rational  

both √5/8 and √4/8 are rational.

To find : Which of the following statements is true.

Solution : We have given \(\frac{\sqrt{5}}{8}\) and \(\frac{\sqrt{4}}{9}\) .

Rational number : A number is rational if we can write it as a fraction where the numerator  and denominator are both whole numbers.

Irrational number : an irrational number is any number that is not rational. It is a number that cannot be written as a ratio of two integers.

\(\sqrt{5}\)  is not an integer so, \(\frac{\sqrt{5}}{8}\) is irrational number .

\(\sqrt{4}\)  =  2 so, it is an integer then it is rational number.

Therefore,  \(\frac{\sqrt{5}}{8}\) is irrational and  \(\frac{\sqrt{4}}{9}\) √4/9 is rational .
