Given:
October: 8 3/8 inches
September : 60% less rain fell than in October.

This means that only 40% rain fell in September based on the amount of rain that fell in October.

8 3/8 ⇒ (8*8)+3/8 = 67/8
40% is 4/10

67/8 * 4/10 = 268/80 = 3 28/80 or 3 7/20 or 3.35

28 ÷ 2 = 14
80 ÷ 2 = 40
14 ÷ 2 =   7
40 ÷ 2 = 20

In September 3 7/20 inches or 3.35 inches of rain fell.

If you would like to know how much rain fell in September, you can calculate this using the following steps:

60% of 8 3/8 in. = 60% * 8 3/8 = 60/100 * 67/8 = 201/40 = 5 1/40 in.

8 3/8 - 5 1/40 = 67/8 - 201/40 = 67/20 = 3 7/20 in.

The correct result would be 3 7/20 in.

Explain why the sum or product of rational numbers is rational; why the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irr
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Rational numbers are fractional numbers, whose numerator and denominator are integers and the denominator is ever zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of rational numbers gives a rational number;

   \frac{1}{3}  + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3} , because the evaluation of the denominator always results to a non-zero integer.

The product of  \frac{1}{3} x \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{9}, which multiply both numerator and denominator to give integer numbers.

The sum and product of rational and irrational numbers are always irrational numbers, for instance,

           \frac{1}{3} x 7 = 2.3 , which is a number which decimal points that can only be represented by the product irrational number and rational number , where 7 is an irrational number.

       \frac{1}{3} + 7 =  7\frac{1}{3} , which is a whole number and fractional number combined.

Evaluate the expression.
EastWind [94]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

We use (BODMAS) :

Brackets

Order/Index

Division

Multiplication

Addition

Subtraction

Now we do bracket first :

7(3²) = 7(9) = 63

Now we do division :

63÷3 = 21

Now we do multiplication :

2 × 21 = 42

Hope this helped and have a good day
