Pachacha [2.7K]3 years ago

4 0

Answer: -3

Solution:

Let n be that number.

So,

Three less than 3*no = 3 more than 5*no

3*n-3=5*n+3

5n-3n=-3-3

2n=-6

n=-3

Exercise 2.4.2: Proving statements about rational numbers with direct proofs. About Prove each of the following statements using

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Proof: Product of two rational numbers

Using direct proofs.

Let the two rational numbers be A and B.

Such that:

$A = \frac{1}{2}$

$B = \frac{2}{3}$

The product:

$A * B = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{2}{3}$

$A * B = \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{3}$

$A * B = 1 * \frac{1}{3}$

$A * B = \frac{1}{3}$

Proved, because 1/3 is rational

(b) Proof: Quotient of a rational number and a non-zero rational number

Using direct proofs.

Let the two rational numbers be A and B.

Such that:

$A = \frac{1}{2}$

$B = \frac{2}{3}$

The quotient:

$A / B = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{2}{3}$

Express as product

$A / B = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{3}{2}$

$A / B = \frac{1*3}{2*2}$

$A / B = \frac{3}{4}$

Proved, because 3/4 is rational

(c) x + y is rational (missing from the question)

Using direct proofs.

Let x and y be

Such that:

$x = \frac{1}{2}$

$y = \frac{2}{3}$

The sum:

$x + y = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{3}$

Take LCM

$x + y = \frac{3+4}{6}$

$x + y = \frac{7}{6}$

Proved, because 7/6 is rational

<em>The above proof works for all values of A, B, x and y; as long as they are rational values</em>

The Fergusons want to install a new tile floor in their kitchen. The kitchen is in the shape of a rectangle and is 9 feet by 12

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

27 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the total area of the kitchen.

Use the area formula, A = lw

A = lw

A = (9)(12)

A = 108

So, the area of the kitchen is 108 sq ft

Find the area of the square tiles, using the same formula:

A = lw

A = (2)(2)

A = 4

So, the area of one square tile is 4 sq ft

Find how many tiles they will need to buy by dividing the total area by the area of one tile:

108/4

= 27

So, they will need to buy 27 tiles
