An Irrational number is described as a number which cannot in the actual sense be expressed as a ratio between two integers and is not an imaginary number. It means that an irrational number cannot be expressed as a simple fraction.
If written in decimal notation, an irrational number would have an infinite number of digits to the right of the decimal point, without repetition. Hence irrational numbers are floating point numbers.
The quotient of a rational number and an irrational number is always irrational.
constraint 1 let x = number of cups of chocolate y = number of cups of vanilla The equation that represents the total number of ice cream is: x + y = 24 constraint 2 the ratio of the number of chocolate cups to vanilla cups is y = (1/2) x Using equations 1 and 2, you can find the number of cups of each favor required. answer: x + y = 24 y = (1/2) x
