Rational number are numbers which can be expressed in a ratio of two integers. Both numerator and denominator are whole numbers<span>, where the denominator is not equal to zero.</span>
An irrational number<span> on the other hand is a </span>number which cannot be expressed in a ratio of two integers. However there are similarities between them. For example: the product of both irrational numbers of born rational numbers can be rational number, both irrational and rational numbers can be negative and positive, and both can be expressed as a fraction.
A + b + c = 168
b = 1/3c
a = b + c....a = 1/3c + c = 4/3c
now we sub
4/3c + 1/3c + c = 168
8/3c = 168
c = 168 * 3/8
c = 504/8
c = 63 <=== Carlos collected 63 lbs
a = 4/3c
a = 4/3(63)
a = 252/3
a = 84 <== Amy collected 84 lbs
b = 1/3c
b = 1/3(63)
b = 63/3 <== Bruce collected 21 lbs
b = 21
The answer is C. 7 x ( 2 x 2 )
