The square root of a number (B) is a number (A), if and only if A times A equals B.

1. +/- (1/9)
2. +/- (.5)
3. +/- (10/3)
4. +/- (.01)

Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction (a ratio). So any number that ends or is a repeating decimal is rational.

1) 8.3 can be written as 83/10. Rational.
2) Square root of 10 is irrational, it isn't a repeating or ending decimal.
3) 22/7 is a fraction. Rational.
4) 3.625 can be written as 29/8. Rational.
5) 50 is an ending number. Can be written as 50/1 or 100/2. Rational.

Looking things up is good for you. Try it some time.

For 1 and 3, just find the square roots of the numerator and denominator. For 2 and 4 change them to fractions and do the same thing. #3 is 25/100, so the square root is 5/10 = 1/2 = .5.

Rational numbers have terminating or repeating decimals, or are written as fractions with integers for both numbers. So 1,3 4 and 5 are rational.

For your last question, there is a procedure for it, but these days most people do an estimation process. You know the square root of 21 is between 5 and 6. So through trial and error try to make it a little more exact by choosing decimals and seeing how close you can get.

All square roots are + or -
1) 1/9
2) 5
3) 10/3
4) .01

A rational number is by definition a number that can be expressed as a fraction a/b, where a nd b are integers, and b not equal 0. All finite and repeating decimal numbers can be expressed as such.

2) no
3) yes
4) yes

Sorry, yet you have stated the problem incorrectly and it won't be able to be solved as stated. the way it reads good now could be: 80 instances the squareroot of two + 20 the squareroot of ? Please examine problem lower back and then submit a correct version of the problem.
