C) 66 pounds
Hey!
RS = 15 and RT = 18. Subtract 18 from 15 to get your answer.
<em>That means your answer is 3</em>

Answer: Irrational</h3>
We cannot write sqrt(12) as a fraction of two whole numbers
Note how sqrt(12) = 3.464 and the decimal portion goes on forever without any known pattern (and it doesnt repeat either).
Compare this to something like sqrt(16) = 4 which can be written as a fraction 4/1, so sqrt(16) is rational
First you have to convert the denominators to the Lowest Common Multiple (unless the denominators are equal, of course).
Example 1/4 + 1/2
The LCM of 2 and 4 = 4 so we can write 1/2 as 1*2/2*2 = 2/4.
Now we can add:-
1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4.
Same thing goes for subtraction.
Example 2:-
5/6 - 1/7 :-
LCM of 6 and 7 = 6*7 = 42 so we have:-
5*7 / 6*7 - 1*6 / 7*6
= 35/42 - 6/42 = 29/42
