Answer:
Rational
Step-by-step explanation:
When you divide a nonzero expression by itself, you always get 1.
1 by definition is a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction.
e.g. 1/1, 5/5, x^2 / x^2 (except this expression is undefined when x is 0).
Given your example of (sqrt(2) / sqrt(2)), when you multiply the top by the bottom to rationalize the denominator, you get:
sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) / sqrt(2) * sqrt(2)
2 / 2
1
Hope this helps!
