Answer:
Seth has 21 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n represent the number of nickels. Since Seth has 8 more nickels than dimes, then (n-8) is the number dimes.
Nickel is worth 5 cents and dime is worth 10 cents. Thus, n nickels are worth 5n cents and (n-8) dimes are worth 10(n-8) cents. The total value of Seth's coins is $2.35 that is 235 cents, then
Solve this equation:
A irrational number is a number that can't be expressed as a ratio of two whole numbers. That's it.
For examples (in increasing order of difficulty)
1 is a rational number because it is 1/1
0.75 is a rational number because it is equal to 3/4
2.333... (infinite number of digits, all equal to three) is rational because it is equal to 7/3.
sqrt(2) is not a rational number. This is not completely trivial to show but there are some relatively simple proofs of this fact. It's been known since the greek.
pi is irrational. This is much more complicated and is a result from 19th century.
As you see, there is absolutely no mention of the digits in the definition or in the proofs I presented.
Now the result that you probably hear about and wanted to remember (slightly incorrectly) is that a number is rational if and only if its decimal expansion is eventually periodic. What does it mean ?
Take, 5/700 and write it in decimal expansion. It is 0.0057142857142857.. As you can see the pattern "571428" is repeating in the the digits. That's what it means to have an eventually periodic decimal expansion. The length of the pattern can be anything, but as long as there is a repeating pattern, the number is rational and vice versa.
As a consequence, sqrt(2) does not have a periodic decimal expansion. So it has an infinite number of digits but moreover, the digits do not form any easy repeating pattern.

Answer: 4 dollars and 17 cents</h3><h3>This is the same as saying $4.17</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
15+35.50 = 50.50 dollars is the total before tax is applied.
Take 8.25% of this to get
0.0825*50.50 = 4.16625
and this rounds to 4.17, which is the amount of sales tax charged.
$4.17 = 4 dollars + 17 cents
---------
Extra info:
The grand total will be 50.50+4.17 = 54.67
Another way to get the grand total is to multiply 1.0825 by the previous subtotal (50.50) getting 50.50*1.0825 = 54.66625 and that rounds to 54.67
The multiplier 1.0825 effectively means "increase by 8.25%"
a) 2/5(n)=6 n=15
b) 4/7(x)=16/3 x=28/3 x=9.33333 x=9 1/3
any option for b works
i hope this is right and helps
(3)
It says the rocket was in the air for approximately 6 seconds before hitting the ground.
But the graph proves it untrue because after 6 seconds it is still in the air, rather than on the ground like (3) suggests.
