Answer:
The number 1.256 is A)rational number.
Step-by-step explanation:
- A whole number is a non-negative number without any digits behind the decimal.
- An integer is a set of negative and non negative numbers that don't have any digits behind the decimal.
- A number that can be shown as a fraction of two whole numbers is a rational number.And the numbers that are not rational are irrational numbers.
- Here, 1.256 is a fraction of whole numbers 1256 and 1000 , so it is a rational no.
- But since it has digits behind the decimal it is neither a whole number, or an integer.
Answer:
b. 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
knowing that a prime number is an integer with exactly two divisors and a composite number is an integer with more than two divisors, we have that if q is a composite number greater than 2 these can be 4, 6, 8, .. But how the smallest of them should be is 4, and p is a prime number can be 2,3,5,7,....
but is the smallest prime number less than 10 then p=2, also p/q=2/4 = 0.5
first question is true and second question is 6cm
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expressions :
The list price of the item is 80 percent of the original price. The price of the item has been reduced by 80 percent.
Write a pair of linear equations using variables of your choice to prove that these two statements are not equivalent.
Let the original price = x
Expression 1 : The list price of the item is 80 percent of the original price
List price = 80% of x
List price = 0.8x
Expression 2: The price of the item has been reduced by 80 percent
Price = x - 80% of x
Price = x - 0.8x
Price = 0.2x
Multiply by percentages is different from an Incremental or decrement in percentage. The first expression above signifies a direct multiplication by the stated percentage while the second signifies a decrease in price based on a certain percentage of the original price.
Wording of percentages are so important for clarity in other to understand if the statement signifies a direct application of the percentage prescribed or a change in quantity, amount or size relative to the base unit.
