What is the rational number equivalent to __ 3.24?

Answer:

\frac{324}{100}

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of a rational number as a fraction. The definition of a rational number is that it is the ratio of integers that, when divided, is either an integer, a decimal that terminates, or a decimal that repeats. 6/3 = 2 (6/3 is a rational number that divides to 2); 1/2 = .5 (1/2 is a rational number that divides to .5 which is a terminating decimal, meaning it ends); 1/3 = .33333333 (1/3 is a rational number that divides to .3333333 which is a repeating decimal). If we want to express 3.24 as a rational number, let's first put it into fraction form. The 4 in .24 is in the hundredths place, so as a fraction, .24 is 24/100. Check this on your calculator. Divide 24 by 100 and you get .24. So now what we have is 3\frac{24}{100}

Now express that mixed fraction as an improper and you're done. 3 times 100 is 300; 300 + 24 = 324. Put that back over 100 and your rational number is 324/100. Check that on your calculator, as well, just to see that it's true.

n aquarium holding African cichlids is 6 inches higher than it is wide. Its length is 33 inches, and its volume is 9240 cubic in
sukhopar [10]

Answer: Height = 20 inches

Width = 14 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The aquarium is rectangular. The formula for determining the volume of a rectangular box is expressed as

Volume = LWH

Where L,W and H represents the length, width and height of the box.

The aquarium holding African cichlids is 6 inches higher than it is wide. It means that

H = W + 6

Its length is 33 inches, and its volume is 9240 cubic inches. It means that

9240 = 33W(W + 6)

9240/33 = W(W + 6)

280 = W² + 6W

W² + 6W + (6/2)² = 280 + (6/2)²

(W + 3)² = 280 + 9 = 289

Taking square root of both sides, it becomes

W + 3 = √289 = 17

W = 17 - 3

W = 14

H = W + 6 = 14 + 6

H = 20
