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.

The quotient of a rational number and an irrational number is always irrational.
In 1500 people of 200 lb each, the total weight would be 300000 lb. Set up a proportion: 200lb/3.2*10^-5 = 300,000lb/x (3.2*10^-5*300,000)/200 = x x = 0.48, I believe
