A rational number can always be represented as a fraction.
5.2 = 52/10
5.5 = 55/10
A number between them would be 54/10 since 54 is between 52 and 55.
An irrational number cannot be represented as a fraction. A good example of an irrational number is the square root of a number.
sqrt(5.2^2) = 5.2 ----> 5.2^2 = 27.04
sqrt(5.5^2) = 5.5 ----> 5.5^2 = 30.25
The square root of a number between 27.04 and 30.25 will be an irrational number between 5.2 and 5.5
sqrt(28) = 5.2915...
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
the three sticks of butter were divided among six people
get a common denominator which is 24
3 7/8 = 3 21/24
6 /4 = 6 6 /24
3 21/24 - 6 6 /24
big number minus small number take sign of larger
6 6/24
- 3 21/24
-------------
5 30/24
3 21/24
--------------
2 9/24
2 3/8
the sign of the larger is negative
-2 3/8
Answer:
10π (31.415926)
√101(10.0498756)
9.92749...
0.99853...
Step-by-step explanation:
For 10π, we can simplify π into 3.14 for an approximate amount. 3.14*10=31.4
For the square root of ten, we can estimate it's between 10 and 11 since 10 squared is 100 and 11 squared is 121.
