Why does it take 3 copies of 1/6 to show the same amount as 1 copy of 1/2?

You can solve this by putting the number of copies in the top part of the fraction. If you replace the one in the top part of 1/6 with 3, you get the fraction 3/6. Half of six is three and half of two is one, so both fractions are equal. You can test this be dividing the 3 in the top by 3 and the 6 in the bottom by three. Your result will be 1/2. Although there are three times ad many copies, each copy is three times as small, so it balances out.

How do you know if a square root of something is rational or irrational? like i know it can be represented by a fraction or a ra
ra1l [238]
The square root of a whole number will be rational if the whole number is a perfect square (i.e 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144 etc) and irrational otherwise.

Rational number is a number that can be described as m/n 

so a fraction can be a rational number, 0.8=4/5 
Irrational numbers can't be written as a fraction 

The part about the number having to be a perfect square is still correct, if it's not a prefect square than it will just keep going(a decimal that never ends) 

for example the square root of 0.64 is 0.8 
and the square root of 10 is 3.162277... 
as you can see the 0.64 one ends and is rational, whereas the 10 one just keeps going and is irrational.

Find the center and radius of the circle.<br> (x + 3)2 + (y + 4)2 =9
Tpy6a [65]

The general equation for any circle with its center at point (a, b) is

                 (x - a)² + (y - b)²  =  (radius)²

So the circle in the question is centered at (-3, -4), and its radius is  3 .
