To put it simply, irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction. In other words, irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be terminated(stop repeating) or continuously repeated as a single repeating number(.666 or .333 for example). So pi is a irrational number since it repeats but with different numbers repeating each time.

Linda has 27 one dollar bills....she wants to give each of 5 children the same number of bills.

27/5 = 25 R2....so each kid gets 5 one dollar bills with 2 bills left over.

Write three expressions that are the equivalent of 5of 100, 000 , first as a numberthen in wordsfinally in scientific notation

disa [49]

Answer: 1) 500, 000

2) Five hundred thousand

3) $5\times10^5$

Step-by-step explanation:

To express: 5 of 100, 000 in three expressions (First - number. second - word , third - scientific )

5 of 100, 000 = 5 x 100, 000 = 500, 000

In word - Five hundred thousand [ as place value of 5 = hundred thousand]

In scientific notation, $500, 000=5\times10^5$

Hence, the required expressions:

1) 500, 000

2) Five hundred thousand

3) $5\times10^5$

Which graph correctly represents 1/3y-1/2x>2 ?

Tanzania [10]

Put it in the form of y =mx +b, or in this instance, y> mx +b
move the (1/2) x to the right by adding it to both sides of the inequality
(1/3)y>(1/2)x +2
Multiply by 3 on both sides to get y by itself.
y>(3/2) x +6
This is a graph with y intercept of (0,6) and a moderate upward and to the right slope. Because it is > , the line on the graph will NOT be part of the solution.

The easiest way to find the side of the graph that the inequality satisfies is to use (0,0) and see if it works or doesn't work. In the original equation, 0-0>2 does NOT work, so the area where the inequality works is to the up and left of the graph, which should be a dotted line to show that the inequality is greater than only.
The point (6,-2) should work.
Test it. 6*(1/3)-(-2)*(1/2)>0 ; 2-(-1)=3, and 3>2 It does work.
The point (6,2) should not work
Test it. 6 *(1/3)-2(1/2)=2-1 ; 1 is NOT >2, so it does not work.
If the graph goes through the origin, then pick a point near the graph with a small x or y.
