Answer:

An irrational number is a number which cannot be expressed in a ratio of two integers. In rational numbers, both numerator and denominator are whole numbers, where the denominator is not equal to zero. While an irrational number cannot be written in a fraction.S

Shoot, okay if this is wrong, shame on me:

All you do is find the areas of each rectangle and add them together.

(12 × 13 1/3) + (10 1/4 x 10 1/3) = 265.9167 (rounded) square inches. Or as a fraction: 3191/12

igor_vitrenko [27]

3 : 5.....thats ur ratio...added = 8...so basically, Lisa wrapped 3 out of 8 (or 3/8) and Helen wrapped 5 out of 8 (or 5/8)

3/8(184) = 552/8 = 69 : Lisa wrapped 69
5/8(184) = 920/8 = 115 : Helen wrapped 115

The nut shack sells cashews for $6.00 per pound and Brazil nuts for $5.00 per pound. How much of each type should be used to mak

Kay [80]

Answer:

Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds

Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

Number of pounds of cashews = x

Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y

The nut shack sells cashews for $6.00 per pound and Brazil nuts for $5.00 per pound. How much of each type should be used to make a 34 pound mixture that sells for $5.44 per pound

Our system of equations is given as:

x + y = 34...... Equation 1

x = 34 - y

6x + 5y = 34 × 5.44

6x + 5y = 184.96.......Equation 2

Ww substitute : 34 - y for x in Equation 2

6(34 - y) + 5y = 184.96

204 - 6y + 5y = 184.96

Collect like terms

- 6y + 5y = 184.96 - 204

-y = -19.04

y = 19.04 pounds

Solving for x

x = 34 - y

x = 34 - 19.04

x = 14.96 pounds

Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds

Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds
