An irrational number cannot be represented as a fraction and its numerical value is a never-ending, never repeating decimal. eg pi = 3.14159265358979323748......
n=n/1 - its rational
5 = 5/1 - rational
square root of 2.56 = 1.6 =16/10 - rational

square root of 5 because the decimal goes on forever without repeating over and over again.

n and 5 are integers, so rational.
sqrt(2.56) = 1.6, so it's rational.
The irrational number here is sqrt(5).

n may or may not be.
5 is rational
sqrt(2.56)=1.6 rational
sqrt(5)=2.236..... irrational
the itational #'s are:
sqrt(5)
Maybe n
