Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the square root of 25

$\sqrt{25} = 5$

Step2: Determine if 5 is rational

A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction $\frac{p}{q}$ where $p$ and $q$ are integers and $q
eq 0$. Since $5$ can be written as $\frac{5}{1}$ (where $p = 5$ and $q = 1$ are integers and $q
eq 0$), it is a rational number.

Answer:

The number $\sqrt{25}$ is rational because $\sqrt{25}=5$ and 5 can be expressed as $\frac{5}{1}$ where 5 and 1 are integers and the denominator 1 is not zero, so it meets the definition of a rational number.
