It is rational because it can be expressed as a fraction, and is a real number. b) 34 is a natural number, so it is also a whole number, integer, rational number, and a real number. c) $-\frac{9}{4}$ is not an integer, but it is rational and a real number. d) $\sqrt 36$ simplifies to 6, so it is a natural number, and therefore a whole number, integer, rational number, and real number. e) $\sqrt 13$ does not simplify to an integer, so it is irrational and a real number. f) 2.16 is a terminating decimal, so it is rational and a real number.
