Is 81/4 considered a rational number

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction p/q where p and q are integers and q!=0. A rational number p/q is said to have numerator p and denominator q. Numbers that are not rational are called irrational numbers. The real line consists of the union of the rational and irrational numbers. The set of rational numbers is of measure zero on the real line, so it is "small" compared to the irrationals and the continuum.

The set of all rational numbers is referred to as the "rationals," and forms a field that is denoted Q. Here, the symbol  Q derives from the German word Quotient, which can be translated as "ratio," and first appeared in Bourbaki's Algèbre (reprinted as Bourbaki 1998, p. 671).

Any rational number is trivially also an algebraic number.

Examples of rational numbers include -7, 0, 1, 1/2, 22/7, 12345/67, and so on. Farey sequences provide a way of systematically enumerating all rational numbers.

The set of rational numbers is denoted Rationals in the Wolfram Language, and a number  x can be tested to see if it is rational using the command Element[x, Rationals].

The elementary algebraic operations for combining rational numbers are exactly the same as for combining fractions.

It is always possible to find another rational number between any two members of the set of rationals. Therefore, rather counterintuitively, the rational numbers are a continuous set, but at the same time countable.

Solve 2,401 = 76 – 2x.
Oduvanchick [21]
Subtract 76 on both sides:

2401 - 76 = 76 - 2x - 76 

2325 = -2x

Divide both sides by -2:

-1162.5 = x

What is the value of x? Please provide an explanation, thanks!
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

What you do is add up 42 and 76, then you subtract that from 180, because all triangles add up to 180. the subtracted amount is what z equals. Then since its a straight line you know it adds up to 180. You add z (62) and 90 because its a right angle. then you subtract 180 by 152 to get 28.

The ticket booth at a school play sells 170 adult tickets and 150 student tickets. Find the ratio of adults to students. Write y
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer: 17:15

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the ticket booth at a school play sells 170 adult tickets and 150 student tickets.

The ratio of adults to students will be:

= 170/150

= 17:15

The ratio is therefore 17:15.
