An irrational number cannot be expressed as a ratio between two numbers and it cannot be written as a simple fraction because there is not a finite number of numbers when written as a decimal.
Amount of the job done after 2 hours:
2(1/6 + 1/8)
2(4/24 + 3/24)
2(7/24)
7/12 (amount of job finished)
.
amount of job left to do:
1 - 7/12
12/12 - 7/12
5/12 (remaining)
.
Let x = time (hours) slower press takes to finish job
then
x(1/6) = 5/12
multiplying both sides by 6:
x = 5/12 *6
x = 5/2 hours
or
x = 2 hours and 30 minutes
The slower press (8-hour press), will take h 3 hours, 20 minutes to complete the job
Answer:
C, E, and F
Explanation:
There are two ways to answer this question. First, you could simply input each answer into both equations to see which one works but that would take quite a long time.
A better way is to simply solve each equation for x.
You could rewrite
2x + 7 < -3
as
2x + 7 = -3
and solve:
Subtract 7 from both sides

Now divide both sides by 2

Now we can simply replace the equals sign with the inequality
x < -5
Where you can run into trouble is if you have to multiply or divide by a negative number across the equation, you must flip the inequality sign. It's best to leave it there to remind you, but I switched it out just to show that it's no different than a typical algebraic equation.
Now, we know that x can be any value less than -5. Let's find out the same thing for the second equation:

Now we know that x must be less than 1 for the second equation. So, now we can choose the answers that are both less than -5 and less than 1.
These answers are:
C. -10
E. -8.24
and
F. -15/2 which is -7.5
NOTE: -5 is equal to but not less than -5 so G is not included.
Given:
Eli has 1500 clients at her hair salon.
15% of clients are children and 30% are men.
To find:
The number of clients who are children.
Solution:
Total number of clients = 1500
Children clients = 15%
Number of children clients = 15% of Total clients


Therefore, the total number of children clients is 225.
