A
rational number is any number that can be written as the
ratio between two other numbers i.e. in the form
Part A:
An easy choice that makes sense is 7.8, right in the middle. To prove that it's rational we need to write it as a ratio. In this case we have
Part B:
We need a number that can't be written as a ratio (because it neither terminates nor repeats). Some common ones are
,
,
and
so it makes sense to try and use those to build our number. In this case
works nicely.
17. 8/10 is equal to .8 not .08
18a. False
18b. True
18c. False
18d. False
18e. True
19. 0.02
20. No, the zero needs to be in the tenths place or else the decimal (.2) would become 2/10.
21. 17/100
22. Words- Ten hundredths
Fraction- 10/100
Decimal- .10
Answer:
p = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
−0.63p − 5.04 + 3.57 = 7.05 + 2.21p
−0.63p − 1.47 = 7.05 + 2.21p (add 0.63p to both sides)
− 1.47 = 7.05 + 2.21p + 0.63p
− 1.47 = 7.05 + 2.84p (subtract 7.05 from both sides)
− 1.47 - 7.05 = 2.84p
-8.52 = 2.84p (rearrange)
2.84p = -8.52 (divide both sides by 2.84)
p = -8.52 / 2.84
p = -3

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
33769/181
Discussion:
Each term contains "x" so factoring it out gives
x( 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17) = 71 (*)
Use common factor (17*14*4 = 952) as the denominator to combine terms:
1/4 = (17*14)/ 952 = 238/952
1/14 = (17*4)/952 = 68/952
1/17 = (14*4)/952 = 56/952
so 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17 = (238 + 68 + 56)/ 952 = 362/952 = 181/476
Substituting in (*) gives
x ( 181/476) = 71 => multiply both sides by 476/181
x = (71 * 476)/181 => 71* 476 =33769
x = 33769/181
Thank you,
