Answer:

It is a rational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

A number is only irrational if it has a decimal that never ends and doesn't have a pattern. So a number like Pi (3.141592653589...) is irrational while a number like 1/3 (0.33333333...) is rational.

Hi :)

Below is the difference between rational & irrational numbers

<h2>______________</h2><h3>RATIONAL</h3>

A number that can be expressed in $\sf{\dfrac{p}{q}}$ form, where $\large\boldsymbol{q\ne0}$

Evidently,

An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed in $\sf{\dfrac{p}{q}}$ form

Let's test the given number, $\boldsymbol{3\dfrac{1}{4}}$

Well isn't it already in $\sf{\dfrac{p}{q}}$ form? It is.

Thus

$\longrightarrow\darkblue\boldsymbol{3\dfrac{1}{4}\:is\:rational}$

3 + 3(k + 3) = 6(k - 2) +9

ANTONII [103]

Step-by-step explanation:

3 + 3(k + 3) = 6(k - 2) + 9

3 + 3k + 9 = 6k - 12 + 9

12 + 12 - 9 = 6k - 3k

15 = 3k

k = 15/3

k = 5

How do you convert repeating decimals to fractions?

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A repeating decimal, also known as a recurring decimal, is a decimal number that has a digit or digits that infinitely repeat at regular intervals. Repeating decimals can be tricky to work with, but they can also be converted into a fraction. Sometimes, repeating decimals are indicated by a line over the digits that repeat. The number 3.7777 with 7 repeating, for instance, can also be written as 3.7. To convert a number like this to a fraction, you write it as an equation, multiply, subtract to remove the repeating decimal, and solve the equation. hope this helps

Solve for x: 5/x^2-4+2/x=2/x-2

IRINA_888 [86]

$\dfrac{5}{x^2 - 4} + \dfrac{2}{x} = \dfrac{2}{x - 2}$
