Which number produces an irrational number when multiplied by 1/3

Mathematics
1 answer:
MArishka [77]3 years ago
3 0

We can simply observe that.

  1. 0.777... is rational, because it is a number with infinite but repeating decimal part.
  2. 1/3 is rational, because it's the division between two integers
  3. -\sqrt{16}=-4, so this is rational as well.

Since the product of two rational numbers is always rational, we have that

0.\bar{7}\cdot \dfrac{1}{3},\quad \dfrac{1}{3}\cdot \dfrac{1}{3},\quad -4\cdot \dfrac{1}{3}

are all rationals, since they are the product of two rationals.

On the other hand, we have

\sqrt{27}=\sqrt{9\cdot 3}=3\sqrt{3}

and thus

3\sqrt{3}\cdot \dfrac{1}{3}=\sqrt{3}

which is irrational.

37 1/2% of _________ is 36, Please help show work I am really confused.
klio [65]

Before you start working on this problem, make sure you know
how to use a couple of the tools in your toolbox:

Tool #1:  37-1/2 percent means 0.375

Tool #2:  In math problems, "of" almost always means "times".

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

Your question says

                           "37-1/2 percent of blank is 36".

Translate it with your tools:

                                  0.375  times  blank  =  36 .

Divide each side by 0.375:              Blank = 36 / 0.375 .

Now grab your pencil or your calculator, and find the value of that
fraction (do the division).  Blank is equal to the value of the fraction.


To check your answer (find out whether it's correct):

Do exactly what the question says.

Multiply (0.375) times (your answer).  If you get 36,
then your answer is correct.  If not, it's not.

What is the y intercept of the linear equation x
spin [16.1K]

x isn't a linear equation, it's just a variable or an expression or a letter of the alphabet.

x = 0 is a linear equation and is a line in the Cartesian plane. In fact, it's the y axis itself.

So every point on the line x=0 is a y intercept.

There is no "the" y intercept, no unique y intercept.

Answer:

81.75 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated using the formula

A = \frac{1}{2} h (a + b)

where a, b are the parallel bases and h is the perpendicular height

Calculate h using the right triangle and the sine ratio

sin30° = \frac{opposite }{hypotenuse} = \frac{h}{10}

Multiply both sides by 10

10 × sin30° = h, thus

h = 5

a = 12 and b = 8.7 + 12 = 20.7, hence

A = \frac{1}{2} × 5 × (12 + 20.7)

   = 0.5 × 5 ×32.7

   = 81.75 ft²
