What is the difference between locating 3/5 on a number line and locating √5 on a number line?

Mathematics

3/5 is 0.6 and is a rational number.

√5 however is an irrational number.

It would be quite easy to find 0.6 on a number line. It's only 6/10. It's made up of six tenths.

Now √5 is equal to 2.236067977........ to infinitum.

It's made up of many little and random fractions; to a certain degree infinitely many little and random fractions.

This means that you'd never be able to find its precise value on a number line. You could zoom in to that line for eternity and never find the precise value of √5. You'd think you're getting closer to it's precise value - but it slips away and you just can't reach it.

...Welcome to the asymptotic realm of mathematics. You've been pixelated, digitized and spaghettified. Life will never be the same again.

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply the denominator with the mixed number then add the numenator

4 × 2 +1 /4

= 8 + 1/4

= 9/4

again for mixed fraction

divide the numenator by denominator and put the quotient in the front side and remaining in numenator

13/7

= quotient = 1 , remaining = 6

  • answer = (1) 6/7

In a basketball game, a regular basket was worth 2 points and a long-distance basket was worth 3 points. if there were 45 basket
IgorLugansk [536]
Let
 x: number of regular basketball
 y: number of long-distance basket
 We have the following system of equations:
 2x + 3y = 96
 x + y = 45
 Solving the system we have
 y = 45-x
 2x + 3 (45-x) = 96
 2x +135 -3x = 96
 -x = 96 -135
 x = 39
 Then,
 y = 45-x
 y = 45-39
 y = 6
 answer
 were made
 regular baskets = 39
 long-distance baskets = 6

Can anyone help me with this?? i dont know how to get letter h.
MAVERICK [17]
This can be solved by using the 30 60 90 triangle. The 30-60 side is equal to 2x, here it is 2x=18. The 60-90 side is equal to x. So this side is 18/2=9. The 30-90 side is by the way equal to the root of x, so here the root of 18
