Which list contains ONLY rational numbers?
2 answers:
Answer:
B. ,
,
.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find the list that contains only rational numbers.
We know that a number is known as rational, when it can be expressed as a fraction.
Upon looking at our given choices, we can see that option B is the correct choice.
In , the digit 6 has a bar on it, this means that it is repeating. We know that a repeating decimal is a rational number.
. We can represent 9 as a fraction:
.
is already written as a fraction, therefore, it is a rational number.

Exercise (a)
The work done in pulling the rope to the top of the building is 750 lb·ft
Exercise (b)
The work done in pulling half the rope to the top of the building is 562.5 lb·ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Exercise (a)
The given parameters of the rope are;
The length of the rope = 50 ft.
The weight of the rope = 0.6 lb/ft.
The height of the building = 120 ft.
We have;
The work done in pulling a piece of the upper portion, ΔW₁ is given as follows;
ΔW₁ = 0.6Δx·x
The work done for the second half, ΔW₂, is given as follows;
ΔW₂ = 0.6Δx·x + 25×0.6 × 25 = 0.6Δx·x + 375
The total work done, W = W₁ + W₂ = 0.6Δx·x + 0.6Δx·x + 375
∴ We have;
W =
The work done in pulling the rope to the top of the building, W = 750 lb·ft
Exercise (b)
The work done in pulling half the rope is given by W₂ as follows;
The work done in pulling half the rope, W₂ = 562.5 lb·ft
ANSWER
EXPLANATION
It was given that,a bottle of la belle bœuf contains 3/8 ounces of perfume.
We want to find how many ounces of perfume would 4 1/2 bottles contain.
If 1 bottle contains 3/8 ounces;
Then 4½ bottles should contain more ounces.
If more less divides.
4½ bottles contain
=1.6875 ounces.
Have a look at the image attachment. I've added the points A, B, C, D such that
A = base of the diving board pole, or location of the pool deck
B = the location 1.6 meters directly above point A
C = location of the person's eyes
D = diving board location
The goal is to find the length of segment AD
We are given
AB = 1.6
BC = 3.67
what we want to find is
BD = x
Due to the fact we have similar right triangles ABC and CBD, we can form the proportion below and solve for x
AB/BC = BC/BD
1.6/3.67 = 3.67/x
1.6*x = 3.67*3.67
1.6*x = 13.4689
1.6*x/1.6 = 13.4689/1.6
x = 8.4180625
So BD is 8.4180625 meters
Use this to find the length of AD
AD = AB + BD
AD = 1.6 + 8.4180625
AD = 10.0180625
which rounds to 10.0 meters when rounding to the nearest tenth (one decimal place)

Answer: choice D) 10.0 m
A = base of the diving board pole, or location of the pool deck
B = the location 1.6 meters directly above point A
C = location of the person's eyes
D = diving board location
The goal is to find the length of segment AD
We are given
AB = 1.6
BC = 3.67
what we want to find is
BD = x
Due to the fact we have similar right triangles ABC and CBD, we can form the proportion below and solve for x
AB/BC = BC/BD
1.6/3.67 = 3.67/x
1.6*x = 3.67*3.67
1.6*x = 13.4689
1.6*x/1.6 = 13.4689/1.6
x = 8.4180625
So BD is 8.4180625 meters
Use this to find the length of AD
AD = AB + BD
AD = 1.6 + 8.4180625
AD = 10.0180625
which rounds to 10.0 meters when rounding to the nearest tenth (one decimal place)
