No, the square root of 47 is not a rational number. A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. Since the square root of 47 is an irrational number, it cannot be expressed as a simple fraction. Irrational Numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as terminating or repeating decimals.
