Hey there! :D

Rational number- a number that can be put into a fraction, ratio, or is a repeating decimal.

Irrational number- a number that cannot be put into a fraction or ratio, and it's decimals never repeat.

So, 4/2+5/2= 9/2

9/2 is already a fraction, so we know it has to be a rational number.

I hope this helps!

A recipe calls for 5 1/2 cups of flour. Molly only has 3 3/4 cups of flour. Write and solve an equation to find the additional a

Leni [432]

Answer:

1 3/4 cups

Step-by-step explanation

Since the recipe calls for 5 1/2 cups of flower and Molly only has 3 3/4 cups, subtract 3 3/4 from 5 1/2 to get the remaining cups of flour needed to make the recipe.

5 1/2 - 3 3/4 = 1 3/4

Match the terms to their definition.1 . an open sentence of the form Ax + By + C < 0 or Ax + By + C > 0 linear inequality2

ra1l [238]

Answer:

1 . An open sentence of the form Ax + By + C < 0 is a linear inequality.

2 . An equation containing more than one variable is a literal equation.

3 . A statement formed by two or more inequalities is a compound inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear Inequality contains one inequality sign (> or <) sign, In Ax + By + C < 0, Ax + By + C is less than 0.

A literal equation contains more than one variable and equates to a number. An example is Ax + By = 0.

A compound inequality uses OR and AND to join two linear inequalities. When AND is used, it indicates that the values of the variables are true in both inequalities.

Find the difference between8/15 and 2/3 Show all calculations in your final answer.

kherson [118]

Answer:

$\frac{8}{15}-\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right)=\frac{6}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the value of a number 'a' be = 8/15

Let the value of a number 'b' be = 2/3

The difference between the two numbers can be calculated by subtracting the numbers

$a-b=\frac{8}{15}-\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right)$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(a\right)=a$

$=\frac{8}{15}-\frac{-2}{3}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$=\frac{8}{15}-\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:-\left(-a\right)=a$

$=\frac{8}{15}+\frac{2}{3}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{8+10}{15}$

$=\frac{18}{15}$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:3$

$=\frac{6}{5}$

Thus,

$\frac{8}{15}-\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right)=\frac{6}{5}$

Since you are given that the student registered early, the total number you deal with is all students who registered early.

211 + 329 = 540

number of undergraduates who registered early = 211

Among students who registered early:

p(undergraduate) = 211/540

Which expression is a perfect cube?<br> A. x8<br> B. y24<br> C. m28<br> D. x64

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

B. Y²⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

For perfect cubes, the exponents are a multiple of three. If yᵃ is a perfect cube, then a/3=k where k is a whole number.

Among the provided choices, the exponent of y²⁴ is divisible by 3.

24/3 = 8.

Thus y²⁴ is a perfect cube.
