The question in the image asks whether $\sqrt{53}$ is a rational number.

A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are integers and $q \neq 0$.

Since 53 is not a perfect square (its square root is not an integer), $\sqrt{53}$ cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Therefore, $\sqrt{53}$ is not a rational number; it is an irrational number.

The correct answer to the question is "no".
