Answer: 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

       If x is the first piece, and the second piece is twice as long, then the second piece is 2x.

        If the third piece is three times as long as the first piece, x, then the third piece is 3x.

       The 42-inch board must be equal to all 3 pieces, so we will set up an equation and solve for x.

42 = x + 2x + 3x

42 = 6x

42 = 6x

7 = x

              The first piece is 7 inches long.

Is the sum of two rational numbers always rational
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

in short, Yes they are always rational.

here's why...

E.g. suppose \frac{c}{d} and \frac{a}{b} are fractions, that means that a,b,c,d are all integers, and b and d are not zero. finding the sum the numerator, and denominator would also have to be integers. the denominator of the sum can't be zero since the denominators of the fractions were not zero, and would give \frac{ad+bc}{bd} and since they are bound by addition (sum means addition) they must also be rational since eit would equal a bigger integer than initially had

Luda [366]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I’m not sure if this is super accurate, but since P is prime, the only factors it has is 1 and itself, meaning that the square root of it will be irrational
