Answer:

- Integers, b ≠ 0 and d ≠ 0.

- r - s = (ad - bc)/bd.

- products and differences of integers are integers.

-  zero product property

- quotient.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational numbers are integers that can take the form of numerator divided by a denominator, that is to say in the form of 'a/b;. So, we are given from the question or problem to prove and fill in the gap the correct information or data:

For the first part of the question:

The missing data in the gap = Integers; b ≠ 0 and d ≠ 0. That is to say the denominators can not be zero or say that the denominators are non zero. This is one of the properties or let us say one of the ways of identifying a Rational number.

For the second part:

The missing data in the gap = a/b - c/d =  (ad - bc)/bd. This is the representation in  a simplified form.

For the third part:

The missing data or information = products and differences of integers are integers.

For the fourth part:

The missing data or information: zero product property, that is to say the product of the numerators is not equal to zero, or it is non zero.

For the fifth part:

The missing data or information: quotient.  r - s is a quotient of two integers.

Bean plants grow rapidly. A bean plant is 16 inches tall. Tomorrow it will be 24 inches tall, the next day it will be 32 inches
vodka [1.7K]
Every day, it increases by 8 inches. We know that it started at 16 inches.

We can construct an equation with this information.

Equation: 16+8x=h
h=Height
x=Days

Plug in 12 for x:
16+96=h
h=112 inches

Answer: The plant will be 112 inches tall in 12 days.
