Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
For the square root to be rational, the number needs to be a square, and for this, each prime factor must occur with an even power.
The prime factorization of 1200 is
1200 = 2⁴ × 3¹ × 5²
The prime factors 2 and 5 already have even powers. The only one we need to fix is 3 and we get an even power here by multiplying by 3.
