<h3>Answer: set of rational numbers, set of real numbers</h3>

Explanation:

The number -1/2 is rational as it is a fraction or ratio of two integers (-1 and 2). We can never have 0 in the denominator. Since it is rational, it means the number is not irrational. Recall that "irrational" means "not rational", so it is the opposite of rational.

-1/2 = -0.5 is not a whole number as it has a fractional or decimal portion. This means -1/2 is not an integer either, nor is it a natural number. The negative portion is another reason to exclude -1/2 from the list of whole numbers and natural numbers.

But we can say that -1/2 = -0.5 is a real number. Any number you encountered so far is a real number until you get to the complex numbers.

The perimeters of the square and the triangle shown below are equal. What is the value of x?

Rudiy27

Perimeter is the sum of all the sides. So we can set up an equation:

$\sf 3x+1+3x+1+3x+1+3x+1=2x+8+x+8+4x+2$

Now solve for 'x', combine like terms:

When it comes to terms with variables it's just like normal addition but we keep the variable:

$\sf 3x+3x+3x+3x=12x$
$\sf 2x+x+4x=7x$

So we have:

$\sf 12x+1+1+1+1=7x+8+8+2$

Add:

$\sf 12x+4=7x+18$

Subtract 7x to both sides:

$\sf 5x+4=18$

Subtract 4 to both sides:

$\sf 5x=14$

Divide 5 to both sides:

$\boxed{\sf x=2.8}$

Answer: number 3 is 32 number 4 is 40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:You see in number 3 it says a millipede has 14 more legs than a caterpillar. Also it states the total of the legs are 46. This means you must subtract. 46-14 is equal to 32. And for number 4 it states the total time of all her classes are 1 hour and 10 minutes. The yoga class is 30 minutes longer. This means you must subtract those 30 minutes from the 1 hour and 10 minutes. 1 hour and 10 minutes- 30 minutes is equal to 40 minutes. This is the answer.

Hope this helps!!
