The square root of a whole number will be rational if the whole number is a perfect square (i.e 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144 etc) and irrational otherwise.
Rational number is a number that can be described as m/n
so a fraction can be a rational number, 0.8=4/5
Irrational numbers can't be written as a fraction
The part about the number having to be a perfect square is still correct, if it's not a prefect square than it will just keep going(a decimal that never ends)
for example the square root of 0.64 is 0.8
and the square root of 10 is 3.162277...
as you can see the 0.64 one ends and is rational, whereas the 10 one just keeps going and is irrational.
Answer:
Deductive reasoning
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to know the kind of reasoning the statement is.
In this question, the kind of reasoning is deductive
In the deductive reasoning type, we go from general cases to specific cases
It is just like saying the reason why there will be hurricanes in the tropics this fall is because there is an hurricane every fall
So we have gone from a general case to give a specific case
Answer:
40 miles over the speed limit
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the difference between the two numbers so you subtract 45 from 85 which gives you 40
