If a is a rational number and b is a rational number, then the product ab must be

2 answers:

The best way to answer this is to find counterarguments for each answer to eliminate them as a possibility. ab doesn't have to be an integer, 2.5*3=7.5 . That's also not an imaginary number so that's out. And that's also not an irrational number so that's out too. Only choice left is rational number.

By definition, a rational number can be expressed as a fraction with integer values in the numerator and denominator (denominator not zero). So, multiplying two rationals is the same as multiplying two such fractions, which will result in another fraction of this same form since integers are closed under multiplication. Thus, multiplying two rational numbers produces another rational number.

So in this case your answer would be A.

Hope I helped!!!

32 people volunteers to donate blood. n dident have he health requirment so they couldent donate the rest of the volunteers dona

Vesna [10]

Answer:

the equation representing total amount of blood donated is $470(32-n)=15040-470n \ ml$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of volunteers = 32

number of volunteers couldn't donate blood = $n$ .

So Number of volunteers who donated blood can be calculated by subtracting number of volunteers couldn't donate blood from Total number of volunteers.

Framing in equation form we get;

So, the number of remaining volunteers who donated blood = $32-n$ .

Each of these volunteers donated blood = 470 ml

Now Total Amount of Blood donated is equal to Amount each of these volunteers donated blood times the number of volunteers who donated blood.

Framing in the equation form we get;

total amount of blood donated milliliters = $470(32-n)=15040-470n \ ml$

Hence the equation representing total amount of blood donated is $470(32-n)=15040-470n \ ml$ .
