Rational because it can be read as a decimal.
Remember: rational numbers can be read as a whole number, fraction and decimal (even if it’s terminated or repeated with the same number at the end)
Irrational numbers are infinite numbers that cannot be read and they do not repeat over and over within a pattern.
Example the square root of 5 is irrational because it is not a perfect square and it ends up coming out as infinite decimals that continue but don’t repeat in a pattern. Hope this helps :)

Lamar works as a tutor for $12 an hour and as a waiter for $14 an hour. This month, he worked a combined total of 100 hours at h

Answer:

-2t + 1400

Step-by-step explanation:

If t represents the number of hours Lamar worked as a tutor, the number of hours he worked as a waiter can be represented by 100 - t.

Create an equation to represent the situation:

12t + 14(100 - t) = total earned

Simplify:

12t + 1400 - 14t = total earned

-2t + 1400 = total earned

So, the expression for the amount he earned is -2t + 1400

Tonya works 60 hours in 3 weeks. Select ALL the true statements OR YOU WILL FAIL THE GRADE.

tatuchka [14]

Answer: b & c

Step-by-step explanation:

first i found how many hours tonya works in one week which was 20. i got that by dividing 60 by 3. then that set me up for finding the answer to the other problems as well. 60+20=80 so a wouldn’t have worked. 5x5 is 25 and she only worked 20 hours a week. and she would’ve worked 320 hours in 16 weeks, not 240. hope this helps!! :)
