Which number is not a rational number? -5 times 4/11 root31 7.608 18.46 continuing

The rules of rational numbers is that if it repeats or ends then it’s rational. Answer A is wrong because -5*4/11 equals -1.81818181... it keeps repeating the same numbers making it rational. Answer C, 7.608 ends, meaning no numbers come after the last one in this case it’s 8. Answer D I think would be wrong since it says 18.46 continuing (I assume it’s 18.46464646...) meaning it repeats which leaves us with the root of 31 which is 5.56776436... the number don’t stop and they don’t repeat making it irrational. So if another question comes up asking if it’s rational or irrational just ask yourself does it repeat or end? Or does it go on forever like PI.

I think its the second one, the answer does not have a definite and, and cannot be put into a ratio.

The base of a triangle is nine centimeters longer than the perpendicular height. If the area of the triangle is 180 square centi

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The base is 24 cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

Let's call

b= base of the triangle

h=height of the triangle

The base is 9 cm longer than the height, thus:

b = h + 9

The area of the triangle is:

$\displaystyle A=\frac{bh}{2}$

$\displaystyle A=\frac{(h+9)h}{2}$

And its value is 180:

$\displaystyle \frac{(h+9)h}{2}=180$

Multiplying by 2:

$(h+9)h=360$

Operating:

$h^2+9h-360=0$

Factoring:

$(h-15)(h+24)=0$

The only valid positive solution is:

h = 15 cm

And b = h + 9 = 24

b = 24 cm

The base is 24 cm long.

An owner of a small store knows that in the last week 54 customers paid with cash, 42 paid with a debit card, and 153 paid with

goblinko [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

54 customers paid with cash

42 paid with debit card

153 paid with credit card

Add them up to find the total amount of people:

54 + 42 + 153 = 249

Now write 54(the number of customers who paid with cash) as a fraction over the total, 249.

54/249

So the probability that customers will pay cash is 54/249 or 18/83

What are line segments?

laiz [17]

Answer:

In geometry, a line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct end points, and contains every point on the line between its endpoints. A closed line segment includes both endpoints, while an open line segment excludes both endpoints; a half-open line segment includes exactly one of the endpoints
