determine if the following problem is rational or irrational.
You can tell if something is rational if it can be written in the form: p%2Fq, where p and q represent integers and q is not 0.
sqrt%28625%29
sqrt%2825%2A25%29
25
25 can be written as a fraction: 25%2F1, therefore sqrt%28625%29 is rational.
