Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove: The sum of a rational number and an irrational number is an irrational number.

Proof: Assume that a + b = x and that x is rational.

Then b = x – a = x + (–a).

Now, x + (–a) is rational because addition of  two rational numbers is rational (Additivity property).

However, it was stated that b is an irrational number. This is a contradiction.

Therefore, the assumption that x is rational in the equation a + b = x must be incorrect, and x should be an irrational number.

Hence,  the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational.

Toni drives her car 99 mi on the highway on 3 gal of gas. At this rate how many miles can she drive on 11 gal of gas?
Helen [10]

Answer:

333.67 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

She drives her car 91 mi on 3 gal of gas

That’s 91 mi = 3 gal

How many miles can she drive on 11 gal of gas .

Let the mile she can drive by 11 gal of gas be A

At the same rate ,

91 mi = 3 gall

A mi = 11 gal

Cross multiply

A x 3 = 91 x 11

A x 3 = 1001

Divide both sides by 3

A x 3/3 = 1001/3

A = 333.67 miles

At the same rate she’ll drive 333.67 miles on 11 gal of gas
