Answer:

A, B, D and E

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Options A to F

Required

Determine which is true

Option A:

This is always true;

Take for instance the following rational numbers

a = \frac{1}{2}    b = \frac{1}{3}

a + b = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3}

a + b = \frac{3 + 2}{6}

a + b = \frac{5}{6}

<em>This will always result in a rational number</em>

<em></em>

Option B:

This is always true;

Take for instance the following rational number

a = 0.5      

And the following irrational number

b = 3.142857

a + b =0.5+ 3.142857

a + b =3.642857

<em>This will always result in an irrational number</em>

Option C:

This is not always true;

1. Take for instance the following irrational numbers

a = 0.33333        b = 3.142857

a + b =0.33333 + 3.142857

a + b =3.476187

<em></em>

2. Take for instance the following irrational numbers

a = 3 + \sqrt5        b = -\sqrt5

a + b = 3 + \sqrt5 - \sqrt5

a + b = 3

<em>From the above examples, this implies that the statement is not always true</em>

<em></em>

D.

This is always true;

Take for instance the following rational numbers

a = \frac{1}{2}    b = \frac{1}{3}

a * b = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{3}

a * b = \frac{1}{6}

<em>This will always result in a rational number</em>

<em></em>

E.

This is always true;

Take for instance the following rational number

a = 0.5      

And the following irrational number

b = 3.142857

a * b =0.5 * 3.142857

a * b =1.5714285

<em>This will always result in an irrational number</em>

F.

This is not always true;

1. Take for instance the following irrational numbers

a = 0.33333        b = 3.142857

a * b =0.33333 * 3.142857

a * b =1.04760852381

<em></em>

2. Take for instance the following irrational numbers

a = 3 + \sqrt5        b = 0

a * b = (3 + \sqrt5) * 0

a * b = 0

<em>From the above examples, this implies that the statement is not always true</em>

Please help me solve this!!

Answer:

Abelito had the greater average speed

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Bobby:

Distance =4\ miles

Time = 30\ minutes

Abelito

Distance = 10\ miles

Time = 48\ minutes

Required:

Who had a greater average speed

Average speed (S) is calculated as:

S = \frac{Distance}{Time}

We will make use of mph (miles per hour) as the unit of speed.

For Bobby:

S_B = \frac{4\ miles}{30\ minutes}

Convert minute to hour

S_B = \frac{4\ miles}{0.5\ hr}

S_B = 8mph

For Abelito

S_A = \frac{10\ miles}{48\ minutes}

Convert minute to hour

S_A = \frac{10\ miles}{0.8\ hr}

S_A = 12.5mph

By comparison: 12.5mph > 8mph

Hence: Abelito had the greater average speed
