Mathematics

5 0

Answer:

A rational number is a number able to be put into a fraction, an irrational number is not able to be. Therefore, when adding the two, the rational and the irrational will be irrational. For example, 2 is a rational number, and 1.8903 is irrational. If you add the two, you will get 3.18903, which is unable to be put into a fraction.

julia-pushkina [17]
Dimensions of the hallway mural:
L = x + 6,  W = x - 2. 
An expression is:
A ( hallway mural ) = ( x + 6 ) · ( x - 2 )
If x = 8 ft ( length of each side of the classroom ):
A ( h. m . ) = ( 8 + 6 ) · ( 8 - 2 ) =
= 14 · 6 = 84 ft²
The area of the hallway mural is 84 ft².

For the upcoming holiday season, Dorothy wants to mold 20 bars of chocolate into tiny pyramids. Each bar of chocolate contains 6
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The largest  number of pyramids she can make from 20 bars of chocolate is:

  • <u>A. 180</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you must find the volume of the 20 bars of chocolate, remember that each bar contains 6 cubic inches of chocolate (6 in^3), so:

  • Volume of the bars = 6 in^3 * 20
  • <u>Volume of the bars = 120 in^3</u>

Now, you must find the volume of each pyramid, using the next formula:

  • Volume of a pyramid = 1/3 B * h

Where:

<em>B = area of the square base.</em>

<em>h = height of the pyramid.</em>

How these values are given in the problem, we only replace the values in the formula:

  • Area of a pyramid = 1/3 (1 in^2) * 2 in
  • <u>Area of a pyramid = 2/3 in^3</u>

Finally, we divide the volume of the bars in the volume of each pyramid:

  • Total number of pyramids = 120 in^3 / 2/3 in^3
  • <u>Total number of pyramids = 180</u>
