Irrational means a number cannot be written as a ratio or simple fraction.
Examples of this are π, √2, repeating decimals, etc.

Rational means a number can be written as a ratio or simple fraction.
Examples of this are integers, fractions like 1/3, 86/100, percents, √4, etc.

5/8 is rational because it is a simple fraction and is another way of writing the ratio 5:8.
So no, 5/8 is not an irrational number.

Right now Seth's age is 4/5 the age of his brother Eric. Twenty-one years ago, Eric was twice as old as Seth. What are their age

lana [24]

Answer:

Present Time

Let X= Eric's age (4/5)X= Seth's age

Question: What are their ages now?________________________________________________________________________

Past (21 years ago)

X-21 =Eric's age (4/5)X-21=Seth's age

2*[4/5(X-21]=Eric's age

Therefore, X-21= 2*[4/5(X)-21]=Eric's age Substitution

_______________________________________________________________________

X-21= 8/5 X - 42 Solve for "X" by adding 42 to both sides.

X-21+42=(8/5) X

X+21 = (8/5)X Subtract "X" from both sides.

21=(3/5)X Multiply both sides of equation by reciprocal of (3/5), which is 5/3

21*(5/3)= X Finish the problem to find value of "X," which is Eric's age.

Then find 4/5 (X)= Seth's age

Hello there, <br><br> can someone please help me with this question

monitta

Answer:

10 sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two same interior angles + 72 degrees = 360.

Thus, the interior angle of the polygon is $\frac{360-72}{2} =144$ .

The formula to find the interior angle of a polygon is $\frac{180(n-2)}{n}$

$\frac{180(n-2)}{n} =144$

Multiply both sides by n:

$\frac{180\left(n-2\right)}{n}n=144n$

$180\left(n-2\right)=144n$

Expand:

$180n-360=144n$

Add 360 to both sides:

$180n-360+360=144n+360$

$180n=144n+360$

Subtract 144n from both sides:

$180n-144n=144n+360-144n$

$36n=360$

Divide both sides by 36:

$\frac{36n}{36}=\frac{360}{36}$

$n=10$
