Which number is rational?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \((-\frac{7}{5}) / (-\frac{7}{5})\)

Option A simplifies to \((-7/5)/(-7/5)=1\). The number 1 is an integer and can be written as a ratio of integers (\(p/q\), \(q\neq0\)), so it is rational. Option B, \(\sqrt{21}\), is not a perfect square and therefore irrational. Option C is \(\sqrt{31}/5\); dividing a nonzero irrational by a nonzero rational gives an irrational number, so C is irrational. Option D contains \(\pi\), which is irrational, so \((\pi+1)/2\) remains irrational. Exam tip: simplify expressions first — identical nonzero numerator and denominator give 1 (rational); check for perfect squares and known irrational constants to identify irrational options quickly.
