Answer:

"The sum of two rational numbers is rational."

By definition, a rational number can be expressed as a fraction with integer values in the numerator and denominator (denominator not zero). So, adding two rationals is the same as adding two such fractions, which will result in another fraction of this same form since integers are closed under addition and multiplication. Thus, adding two rational numbers produces another rational number.

one tank is filling at a rate of 3/4 per gallon per 2/3 minute .a second tank is at a 5/8 gallon per 1 half gallon per 1/2 minut

Bingel [31]

$recall\ that\implies \cfrac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{{{ d}}}}\implies \cfrac{a}{b}\cdot \cfrac{{{ d}}}{c}\qquad thus
\\ \quad \\

\cfrac{\frac{3g}{4}}{\frac{2m}{3}}\implies \cfrac{3g}{4}\cdot \cfrac{3}{2m}\implies \cfrac{\square ?}{\square ?}
\\-------------\\
\cfrac{\frac{5g}{8}}{\frac{1m}{2}}\implies \cfrac{5g}{8}\cdot \cfrac{2}{1m}\implies \cfrac{\square ?}{\square ?}$

so... you tells us, which filling rate is the bigger and thus faster one?

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

(1,1), (-1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To reflect a point over the x-axis, simply make its x-value negative. So, we can take the sample point of (1,1), make its x-value negative, and get (-1,1).
