If it takes 5 hours to do 2/3 of a job, how long will it take to complete a job?

1 answer:

7 0

I set it up as a ratio with hours on the top and the fraction of the job on the bottom. It looks like this: 5/(2/3) / x/1, because 1 is the whole job if 2/3 is only a fraction of it. Cross multiplying gives you 2/3x = 5. Solving for x gives you that it will take 7.5 hours to complete a whole job if it takes 5 hours to complete 2/3 of it.

The subsets of the real numbers can be represented in a Venn diagram as shown. To which subset of real numbers does −2π belong?

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Whole numbers are the basic counting numbers: $0,\ 1,\ 2,\ 3,\ 4, \....$

Integers are whole numbers and negative numbers: $...,\ -2,\ -1,\ 0,\ 1,\ 2,\ ...$

Rational numbers are all fractions $\frac{m}{n},$ where m is an integer and n is a natural number.

Irrational numbers are all real numbers that are not rational.

Number $\pi$ is irrational number (it is not counting number, so it is not whole number, not integer number), it cannot be represented as a fraction, so it is not rational number, thus this number is irrational number.

The product of integer number -2 by irrational number $\pi$ is irrational number $-2\pi$

Correct option - option D
