A rational number is 5.3 . It's rational because it can be written as a fraction a/b
- that is 5 3/10 or 53/10.
An irrational number between the 2 values would be √29
Enter this into ur calculator and you'll get an answer like 5.385164807 but this number carries on beyond bounds and can't be written as a fraction a/b It is irrational.
Square root of A= 7.66 ( Took the first 2 numbers after the decimal.)
Square root of B= 3.16 (Took the first 2 numbers after the decimal.)
HOPE THIS HELPS! ^_^
Let,
the no. of adults be "x"
then, the no. of childern = total people - total adults
= (30 - x)
Now,
According to the quesiton,
2 (30 - x) + 5x = 87
60 - 2x + 5x = 87
60 + 3x = 87
3x = 87 - 60
3x = 27
x = 27 / 3
x = 9
So, there were 9 adults in the group
