A number is rational if it can be written as a ratio
pq\frac{p}{q} of two integers with q0q \neq 0, and irrational
if it cannot. Some square roots are rational and some are not.
Evaluate 16\sqrt{16}, the one square root among
16,15,14\sqrt{16}, \sqrt{15}, \sqrt{14} that is a rational number. Enter
your answer as a whole number.
