I believe the correct answer is: B. But I’m not sure.
Answer:
just look it up
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:
<u>A few definitions...</u>
- Rational number - Any integer, fraction, terminating decimal, or repeating decimal is classified as a rational number
- Irrational number - All the real numbers which are not rational numbers.
<u>Option A - Rational or Irrational?</u>
Since both are known as fractions, they are rational numbers.
<u>Option B - Rational or Irrational?</u>
√2 is classified as an Irrational number because if it is simplified, it does not result in any integer, fraction, terminating decimal, or repeating decimal.
<u>Option C - Rational or Irrational?</u>
- 1/√4 + 7/2
- => 1/2 + 7/2
- => 8/2 = 4
Since this is an integer, this is rational.
<u>Option D - Rational or Irrational?</u>
- √9 + √4
- => √3 x 3 + √2 x 2
- => 3 + 2 = 5
Since this is an integer, this is rational.
In conclusion...
Option B is correct.
Cost of walnuts = 45 cents per pound
Weight of walnuts in mixture = x pounds
So, total cost of walnuts in the mixture = 45x
This gives the cost in cents. The cost in dollars will be = 0.45x
Cost of pecans = 60 cents per pound
Since total weight of the mixture is 90 pounds. The weight of pecans in the mixture will be (90 - x) pounds.
So, total cost of pecans in the mixture will be = 60 (90 - x)
This gives the cost in cents, the cost in dollars will be = 0.6 (90 - x)
x pounds of walunts and (90-x) pounds of pecans are mixed to produce a mixture to sell at 55 cents per pound. So,we can set up the equation for this case as:
Cost of Walnuts + Cost of Pecans = Cost of Mixture

Using this equation, we can find the weight of walnuts, using x we can also find the weight of pecans. From weights we can then calculate the cost of walnuts and pecans used in the mixture.
