Answer:

(A) Pi cannot be written as a ratio of integers even if it represents a different ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is can be expressed as the quotient of two integers. It can either be a number with or without a decimal part when converted to decimals.

C = 2\pir and D = 2r

                C = \piD

Thus,          \pi = \frac{C}{D}

                     = \frac{22}{7}= 3.142857143...

Terrence was incorrect because Pi is an irrational number which cannot be represented by a simple fraction without approximation.

The first four all spam, each with a 90% probability.

The fifth legitimate, with a 10% probability.

15 people shared 65 1/2 acres of land. How much did each get?
beks73 [17]

You need to divide 65 1/2 by 15.

65 \dfrac{1}{2} \div 15 =

= \dfrac{131}{2} \div \dfrac{15}{1}

= \dfrac{131}{2} \times \dfrac{1}{15}

= \dfrac{131 \times 1}{2 \times 15}

= \dfrac{131}{30}

= 4 \dfrac{11}{30}

Each one got 4 \dfrac{11}{30} acres.
