let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then simply get their difference, our denominators will be 8 and 2, so our LCD will be 8.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{27\frac{3}{8}}\implies \cfrac{27\cdot 8+3}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{219}{8}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{219}{8}-\cfrac{5}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 8}}{\cfrac{(1)219~~-~~(4)5}{8}}\implies \cfrac{219-20}{8}\implies \cfrac{199}{8}\implies 24\frac{7}{8}

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is that the number of different ways that the letters of the word "millennium" can be arranged is 226,800</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of letters of the word "millennium" = 10

Letters repeated:

m = 2 times

i = 2 times

l = 2 times

n = 2 times

2. The number of different ways that the letters of millennium can be arranged is:

We will use the n! or factorial formula, this way:

10!/2! * 2! * 2! * 2!

(10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1)/(2 * 1) * (2 * 1) * (2 * 1) * (2 *1)

3'628,800/2*2*2*2 = 3'628,800/16 = 226,800

<u>The correct answer is that the number of different ways that the letters of the word "millennium" can be arranged is 226,800</u>

Explain why the sum or product of rational numbers is rational; why the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irr
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Rational numbers are fractional numbers, whose numerator and denominator are integers and the denominator is ever zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of rational numbers gives a rational number;

   \frac{1}{3}  + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3} , because the evaluation of the denominator always results to a non-zero integer.

The product of  \frac{1}{3} x \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{9}, which multiply both numerator and denominator to give integer numbers.

The sum and product of rational and irrational numbers are always irrational numbers, for instance,

           \frac{1}{3} x 7 = 2.3 , which is a number which decimal points that can only be represented by the product irrational number and rational number , where 7 is an irrational number.

       \frac{1}{3} + 7 =  7\frac{1}{3} , which is a whole number and fractional number combined.
