Answer:

5.33333333333 is a rational number it can be represented as 5 1/3

Five and one third. A rational number can be written as a fraction. The decimal numbers will be the same if it is a rational number.

Hopefully this is a great answer.

An irrational number can be written as a decimal, but not as a fraction. An irrational number has endless non-repeating digits to the right of the decimal point. Hope this helps
Although I’m pretty sure it’s 5.3

the diameter of a piston for an automobile is 3 11/16in with tolerence of 1/64in. find the upper and lower limits of the pistons

padilas [110]

Upper Tolerance

Remark

The 11/16 is the only thing that will be affected. The three won't go up or down when we add 1/64 so we should just work with the 11/16. We need only add 11/16 and 1/64 together to see what the upper range is. Later on we can add 3 into the mix.

Solution

<u>Upper Limit</u>

$\dfrac{11}{16} + \dfrac{1}{64}$

Now change the 11/16 into 64. Multiply numerator and denominator or 11/16 by 4

$\dfrac{11*4}{16*4} + \dfrac{1}{64}$

$\dfrac{11*4}{16*4} + \dfrac{1}{64}$ Which results in

$\dfrac{44}{64} + \dfrac{1}{64}$

With a final result for the fractions of 45/64

So the upper tolerance = 3 45/64

<u>Lower Tolerance</u>

Just follow the same steps as you did for the upper tolerance except you subtract 1/64 like this.

$\dfrac{11}{16} - \dfrac{1}{64}$

Your answer should be 3 and 43/64

Convert this number given in standard form into scientific notation. 0. 0000069 What is the value in scientific notation? 0. 69

Len [333]

Scientific notation is used so that the order of the number is known in first glance. The value of the given number in scientific notation is given by: Option B: $6.9 \times 10^{-6}$

<h3>How does scientific notations work?</h3>

The number is written in the form $a \times 10^b$ where we have $1 \leq a < 10$

The number b shows the order, which is the most important figure for which scientific notation is used. It tells us how much order large or small a value is in powers of 10. We can for a time, ignore the value of 'a' for two comparable quantities and only compare their orders(this type of comparison is useful when difference is too big, like size of human to size of a star etc sort of comparisons).

Scientific notations have some of the profits as:

Better readability due to compact representation
Its value in terms of power of 10 is known, which helps in easy comparison of quantities differing by a large value.

For the given case, the number in consideration is 0.0000069

Rewriting it in fraction form, we get:

$0.0000069 = \dfrac{69}{10000000} = \dfrac{69}{10^7} = 69 \times 10^{-7} = 6.9 \times 10 \times 10^{-7}\\\\0.0000069 = 6.9 \time 10 ^{-7 +1} \\0.0000069 = 6.9\times 10^{-6}$
