Step-by-step explanation:
If a number is rational, we can represent it as a fraction.
[tex] \frac{a}{b} [/tex]
Where a and b are intergers.
First, we know that
[tex] \sqrt{49} = 7[/tex]
We can represent 7 as
[tex] \frac{7}{1} ..... \frac{14}{2} .... \frac{21}{3} ..... \frac{n}{y} = 7[/tex]
Where n and y are two numbers that when divided equal 7.
So
[tex] \sqrt{49} [/tex]
is a rational number
