By definition, we have:

Rational number is any number that can be represented as the quotient of two whole numbers or, more precisely, an integer and a positive natural.

For the case of percentages, we must always divide by 100 to convert it into a number.

For example, 50% written as a number is:

50% = 50/100

Answer:

Percentages are rational numbers because they must always be divided by 100 to become a number.

Two lines intersect to form a linear pair with equal measures. One angle had the measure 2x and the other angle had the measure
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

x = 45, y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that two lines form a linear pair with equal measures. Therefore, the angle between the two lines will be 90. Now, according to the question,

2x + 20y - 10 =90

2x+20y = 100

x + 10y = 50

And

2x = 20y-10

x = 10y -5

x - 10 y = -5

Now, adding x + 10y = 50 and x - 10y =-5, the value of x can be found. The required value will be:

x + 10y =50

x - 10y = -5

------------------

x = 45

Therefore, the value of y after substitution of the value of x in one of the equations will be:

90 = 20y - 10

20 y = 100

y = 5

Hence, the required value of x and y are 45 and 5 respectively.

EF is a median of trapezoid ABCD. what is the value of x?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Since the given figure is a trapezoid, here is how we are going to find for the value of x. Firstly, the sum of the bases of the trapezoid is always equal to twice of the median. So it would look like this. 2M = A + B.
Plug in the given values above.
2M = (<span>3x+1) + (7x+1)
2(10) = 10x + 2
20 = 10x + 2
20 - 2 = 10x
18 = 10x < divide both sides by 10 and we get,
1.8 = x
Therefore, the value of x in the given trapezoid is 1.8. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.
