Hey there!

The answer is B.


- LEARN WHY -

Step 1: Defenition of irrational numbers.

A rational number is a number that can be written as a fraction, and therefore an irrational number is a number that cannot be written as a fraction


Step 2: Apply the knowledge

-22 as a fraction would be -22/1

3/8 is already a fraction

8.5 as a fraction would be 8 1/2


Only 7.832... cannot be written as a fraction.

Hence, number B is irrational
