14. Which statement is true?
A. Every rational number is a square root.
B. Every irrational number is a fraction.
C. Every rational number can be written as a fraction.
D. Every square root can be written as a whole number.
I think its D?
I meant C, sorry!!!
C is correct.
A is also, but if they are implying a square root of an integer, then it is false.
After all, a/b = √(a^2/b^2) whatever values a and b have.
good job
its C.
To determine which statement is true, let's evaluate each option:
A. Every rational number is a square root.
To check this statement, we need to understand that rational numbers can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. However, not all rational numbers have square roots that are rational. For example, the square root of 2 is irrational. Therefore, option A is not true.
B. Every irrational number is a fraction.
Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction or a ratio of two integers. They are numbers that cannot be written as terminating decimals or repeating decimals. As such, option B is also false.
C. Every rational number can be written as a fraction.
This statement is true. A rational number is defined as a number that can be expressed as a fraction, where the numerator and denominator are both integers and the denominator is not zero. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
D. Every square root can be written as a whole number.
This statement is not true either. While some square roots can be whole numbers (such as the square root of 4 is 2), there are many square roots that are irrational, meaning they cannot be expressed as whole numbers. For example, the square root of 5 is irrational.
In summary, the correct answer is C. Every rational number can be written as a fraction.
