Answer:

Rational:-5, 2/3, 0.5, sqrt 16

Irrational: sqrt 11, pi

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is a number which can be represented as a ratio or fraction and whose decimal is terminating or repeating. This includes all whole numbers positive and negative too.

Ex. -5, 2/3, 0.5, sqrt 16

An irrational number is a number that CANNOT be represented as a ratio or fraction and whose decimal is NOT terminating or repeating. These often include square roots and numbers like pi.

Ex. sqrt 11, pi

17. Two tanks are similar in shape. The capacity of the tanks are 1,000,000 litres and 512, 000 liters respectively

Gnesinka [82]

Given that, Two tanks are similar in shape. The capacity of the tanks are 1,000,000 litres and 512, 000 liters respectively.Find the height of the smallest tank if the larger is 300cm tall?

Assume that, the tanks are rectangular in shapes and differ only on their heights. The volume of the larger tank is

V1 = l × w × h1 while the volume of the smaller tank is V2 = l ×w × h2. The ratios of the capacities is

$\sf \frac{V1}{V2} = l \times w \times h1 \times w \times h2 = \frac{h1}{h2}$
