This problem is simply asking us to add the weights which are presented as fractions. You can easily get the answer if you input them directly in a calculator. But I think the challenge here is to manually add fractions.

Let's add the two 1/4 lb weights because it is easier for they have a common denominator. Just simply add the numerators.

1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4

Then, add with this the fraction part of 2 1/5.

2/4 + 1/5 = ?
The least common denominator is 4*5 = 20. Then divide 20 with each denominator and multiply to their respective numerator.

2/4 + 1/5 = [(20/4 * 2) + (20/5 *1)]/20 = 14/20

14/20 is simplified to 7/10. Then add the whole number 2. <em>Therefore, the sum of all weights is 2 7/10 pounds.</em>

Which statement is true?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

An irrational number may show terminating digits after the decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

Examples of Rational Numbers

Number 9 can be written as 9/1 where 9 and 1 both are integers.  0.5 can be written as ½, 5/10 or 10/20 and in the form of all termination decimals.  √81 is a rational number, as it can be simplified to 9 and can be expressed as 9/1.  0.7777777 is recurring decimals and is a rational number

Examples of Irrational Numbers

Similarly, as we have already defined that irrational numbers cannot be expressed in fraction or ratio form, let us understand the concepts with few examples.

5/0 is an irrational number, with the denominator as zero.

π is an irrational number which has value 3.142…and is a never-ending and non-repeating number.

√2 is an irrational number, as it cannot be simplified.

0.212112111…is a rational number as it is non-recurring and non-terminating.

There are a lot more examples apart from above-given examples, which differentiate rational numbers and irrational numbers.

Properties of Rational and Irrational Numbers

Here are some rules based on arithmetic operations such as addition and multiplication performed on the rational number and irrational number.

#Rule 1: The sum of two rational numbers is also rational.

Example: 1/2 + 1/3 = (3+2)/6 = 5/6

#Rule 2: The product of two rational number is rational.

Example: 1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6

#Rule 3: The sum of two irrational numbers is not always irrational.

Example: √2+√2 = 2√2 is irrational

2+2√5+(-2√5) = 2  is rational

#Rule 4: The product of two irrational numbers is not always irrational.

Example: √2 x √3 = √6 (Irrational)

√2 x √2 = √4 = 2 (Rational)
