No.

If a rational number can be an integer, x and y could be 5.5 and .5, or something that adds up to (number).0.  This means, if the two non-rational numbers add up, they could be irrational, but the result isn't.

Two old RSM students were standing ten feet apart when they ran in opposite directions with speeds of 180 feet per minute and 16
inessss [21]

The number of minutes that would pass before they were 1870 feet apart is 5.47 minutes

  • Since one student runs at a speed of 180 feet per minutes, in time t minutes, he moves a distance of d = 180t.
  • Also, the second student runs at a speed of 160 feet per minute, in time t minutes, he moves a distance of d' = 160t.

Since they are initially 10 feet apart, their total distance apart after t minutes is D = d + 10 + d'

D = 180t + 10 + 160t

D = 340t + 10

<h3>Number of minutes before they are 1870 feet</h3>

Making t subject of the formula, we have

t = (D - 10)/340

Since they are 1870 feet apart after t minutes, D = 1870 feet.

t = (D - 10)/340

t = (1870 - 10)/340

t = 1860/340

t = 5.47 minutes

So, the number of minutes that would pass before they were 1870 feet apart is 5.47 minutes

A class has $90 to spend on a field trip. The field trip costs $2.50 per person and there will be 5 chaperones on the trip. One
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the number of students

(x+5) is the number of students and chaperons

$2.50·(x+5) is the amount of money the number of students and chaperons will pay for the trip, and that number should be less or equal than $90 because those are all the money they have

2.50(x+5) ≤ 90 which is the same as 90 ≥ 2.50(x+5)

The inequality "90 greater-than 2.50 (x + 5) "

90 > 2.50(x+5) is an error becase it excludes the possibility that <u>the trip can cost exact $90</u> so we need not just greater than > , yet greater and equal than ≥ sign

90 ≥ 2.50(x+5)
