Answer:

a. true b. true

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>(a) If r and s are rational numbers, then (r+s)/2 is rational. </em>

true

rational numbers can be expresed as fractions

let be r=a/b and s=c/d being a,b,c,d  integer numbers

\frac{r+s}{2} =\frac{\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d} }{2} =\frac{\frac{da+bc}{bd} }{2} =\frac{da+bc}{2bd}

d.a=e is an integer number because it's the product of two integers

b.c=f is an integer number because it's the product of two integers

e+f=g  is an integer number because it's the sum of two integers

b.d=h is an integer number because it's the product of two integers

2.h=i is an integer number because it's the product of two integers

g/i=j is an integer number because it's the quotient of two integers

then

\frac{r+s}{2} =\frac{\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d} }{2} =\frac{\frac{da+bc}{bd} }{2} =\frac{da+bc}{2bd}=\frac{e+f}{2h} =\frac{g}{i} =j

<em>(b) For all real numbers a and b, if a < b then a < (a+b)/2 < b</em>

true

a < (a+b)/2 < b

2a < (a+b) < 2b

lets analyze 2a < (a+b)

2a < (a+b) \\2a-a < (a+b)-a\\a < b

then 2a < (a+b) is true

lets analyze (a+b) < 2b

(a+b) < 2b\\(a+b)-b < 2b-b\\a< b

then (a+b) < 2b is true

A Walmart truck driver estimates that it will take him 12 hours to drive 1152 km. After 5 hours, he has driven 520 km.
san4es73 [151]

(a) He would drive 96 km in an hour because 1152 divided by 12 is 96

(b) He is technically on schedule because he is driving 104 km per hour, instead of 96, so if he keeps driving at the same rate, he should get there in under 12 hours
