Yes, it could. But for school-level mathematics it is usual to rationalise denominators.

Rationalising the denominator.
It is called rationalisation [of the denominator].
It is called rationalising the denominator.
It isn't clear what, exactly, you want to achieve. To write a fraction in standard form, it is customary to leave no radical in the denominator; in this case, for example, if you have square root of 2 in the denominator, you would multiply top and bottom by square root of 2, precisely to get rid of the radical in the denominator.
To eliminate the radical in the denominator.

No. One of the rules for "simplest form" is that there may be no radical in the denominator. To fix this, multiply top and bottom of the fraction by the radical denominator. For example, ( 1 / √2) = (1 / √2)(√2 / √2) = (√2 / 2)

It could be written as 28 divided by radical 3. However, you will normally be required to rationalise the denominator which brings you back to 28 radical 3 divided by 3.
