In short, 4 and 6 are irrational. Everything else is rational.

============================================

Explanation:

A rational number is one in the form p/q where p,q are integers and q is nonzero. In the case of something like 3/5, we have p = 3 and q = 5.

Any terminating decimal can be converted to a rational number. Eg: 0.125 = 125/1000.

Any whole number is a rational number. Eg: 5 = 5/1.

Adding any two rational numbers leads to some other rational number.

Based on what is mentioned above so far, this means choices 1 through 3 are rational sums.

---------

Choice 4 is not rational because sqrt(2) is irrational. The rule is

irrational+rational = irrational

Choice 5 is a rational sum because sqrt(4) = 2 = 2/1

Choice 6 is irrational for similar reasons as choice 4. Here pi = 3.14... is irrational.

A train travels 1/5 of the distance between two sides in 3/4 hours at this rate how many hours will take the train to travel the

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:3 3/4 hour

If 1/5 takes 3/4 hours, then to travel the whole distance, which is one, it will take 3/4 * 5 hours because 1/5 * 5 = 1

if a motercycle is moving at a constant speed down the highway of 40 km/hr, how long would it the motorcycle to travel 10 km

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

15 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the motorcycle goes at a speed of 40 km/hr.

The question asks for how long it would take to travel 10 km.

Well, there are 60 minutes in an hour, since we will be translating into minutes.

Also, 10 km is 1/4 of 40 km, so it would make sense that the time length would be 1/4 of an hour as well.

1/4 of 60 minutes is 15 minutes. So it takes 15 minutes for the motorcycle to travel 10 km.

Now, if all this wordy stuff is too much to comprehend, you can also solve using proportional relationships.

$\frac{40km}{60min}=\frac{10km}{xmin}$

Now cross multiply:

$40km*xmin=10km*60min\\40x=600$

Divide both sides by 40:

$\frac{40x}{40}=\frac{600}{40}\\x=15$

Again, this shows that it wouls take 15 minutes for the motorcycle to travel 10 km.
