Ms. Koskinas asked the class, "Is the sum of 4.2 and  $\sqrt{2}$  rational or irrational?" Ammy answered that the sum would be irrational. Is Ammy correct? Why or Why not?

• Ammy is incorrect because the sum can not be turned into a fraction. Therefore, the sum is rational. 

• Ammy is incorrect because the sum can be turned into a fraction. Therefore, the sum is rational. 

• Ammy is correct because the sum can not be turned into a fraction. Therefore, the sum is irrational. 

• Ammy is correct because the sum can be turned into a fraction. Therefore, the sum is irrational.

• Irrational because the sum can be expressed as a fraction. 

• Irrational because the sum cannot be expressed as a fraction.

The product of  $\sqrt{576}$  and  $\sqrt{684}$  is
