Explain why percents are rational numbers.

Mathematics
1 answer:
levacccp [35]3 years ago

<span>Yes since percents can be decimals and these decimals can be illustrated as fractions hence, vice-versa.

80%= 0.8 = 4/5

A rational number is any number or numerical value which can be possibly stated in a fraction form of numbers, it basically has a numerator and denominator. Furthermore, the values of the numerator and denominator is integers and doesn’t equal to 0. In this given case of 8 over 5 or 8/5 this fractional number can still be expressed in a standard numerical form with a decimal as 1.6 without repeating decimal values. Unlike irrational numbers which is not possible, take for instance 3.1416… and so on which cannot be “fractionized”.<span>

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Mia is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see this if you write 5/11 in a calculator, you get 0.454545454545 infinitely. In other cases, you would write it like Malik said if the answer were to be 0.455555555, but it isn't.

16/8 would be classified as a/an?<br> A:whole number <br> B:integer <br> C:Rational Number
gregori [183]

Answer:

Whole Number

Step-by-step explanation:

Numerator. This is the number above the fraction line. For 16/8, the numerator is 16.

Denominator. This is the number below the fraction line. For 16/8, the denominator is 8.

Improper fraction. This is a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator.

Mixed number. This is a way of expressing an improper fraction by simplifying it to whole units and a smaller overall fraction. It's an integer (whole number) and a proper fraction.

Now let's go through the steps needed to convert 16/8 to a mixed number.

Step 1: Find the whole number

We first want to find the whole number, and to do this we divide the numerator by the denominator. Since we are only interested in whole numbers, we ignore any numbers to the right of the decimal point.

16/8 = 2

Now that we have our whole number for the mixed fraction, we need to find our new numerator for the fraction part of the mixed number.

Step 2: Get the new numerator

To work this out we'll use the whole number we calculated in step one (2) and multiply it by the original denominator (8). The result of that multiplication is then subtracted from the original numerator:

16 - (8 x 2) = 0

Step 3: Our mixed fraction

We've now simplified 16/8 to a mixed number. To see it, we just need to put the whole number together with our new numerator and original denominator:

2 (0/8)

You maybe have noticed here that our new numerator is actually 0. Since there is no remainder, we can remove the entire fraction part of this mixed number, leaving us with a final answer.

Solve for u. u+1/4=-4/5
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

u = (-21)/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for u:

u + 1/4 = (-4)/5

Put each term in u + 1/4 over the common denominator 4: u + 1/4 = (4 u)/4 + 1/4:

(4 u)/4 + 1/4 = -4/5

(4 u)/4 + 1/4 = (4 u + 1)/4:

1/4 (4 u + 1) = -4/5

Multiply both sides of (4 u + 1)/4 = (-4)/5 by 4:

(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = (-4)/5×4

4×(-4)/5 = (4 (-4))/5:

(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = (-4×4)/5

(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = 4/4×(4 u + 1) = 4 u + 1:

4 u + 1 = (-4×4)/5

4 (-4) = -16:

4 u + 1 = (-16)/5

Subtract 1 from both sides:

4 u + (1 - 1) = (-16)/5 - 1

1 - 1 = 0:

4 u = (-16)/5 - 1

Put (-16)/5 - 1 over the common denominator 5. (-16)/5 - 1 = (-16)/5 - 5/5:

4 u = (-16)/5 - 5/5

-16/5 - 5/5 = (-16 - 5)/5:

4 u = (-16 - 5)/5

-16 - 5 = -21:

4 u = (-21)/5

Divide both sides by 4:

u = ((-21)/4)/5

5×4 = 20:

Answer:  u = (-21)/20
