Answer:
5.2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the solution, you need to multiply Aretha's time by 1.6, since Neal takes 1.6 as long to run the marathon.
3.25 × 1.6 = 5.2
In other words, Neal takes 5.2 hours to run the marathon. Let me know if I can help you with anything else, 'kay?
I assume you mean one that is not rational, such as √2. In such a case, you make a reasonable estimate of it's position, and then label the point that you plot.
For example, you know that √2 is greater than 1 and less than 2, so put the point at about 1½ (actual value is about 1.4142).
For √3, you know the answer is still less than 4, but greater than √2. If both of those points are required to be plotted just make sure you put it in proper relation, otherwise about 1¾ is plenty good (actual value is about 1.7321).
If you are going to get into larger numbers, it's not a bad idea to just learn a few roots. Certainly 2, 3, and 5 (2.2361) and 10 (3.1623) shouldn't be too hard.
Then for a number like 20, which you can quickly workout is √4•√5 or 2√5, you could easily guess about 4½ (4.4721).
They're usually not really interested in your graphing skills on this sort of exercise. They just want you to demonstrate that you have a grasp of the magnitude of irrational numbers.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the appropriate equation, notice the red graph has shifted up about 6 units. This means that 
which is shifted by -3 will move 6 up. -3+6= 3. This means the function will have +3. Only B and C are options. Now test a point. Notice the red function crosses the y-axis at about 5 or 6 when x=0.
This function doesn't match.
This function matches. Option C is correct.
