Let's say that the time it took him to get to work in the morning is t hours. Then the time it took him to get home in the afternoon must be 1 - t hours. We know that for any trip, distance equals rate times time or d = rt . That means that the distance he drove to work is given by , but we also know that the distance he drove to get home must be the same distance, because he took the same route (and, presumably, no one picked up him house and moved it while he was at work) so for the trip home we can say d = 30 × (1 - t) and since the distances are equal, we can say:
Rational numbers are those numbers that are integers and can be expressed in the form of x/y where both numerator and denominator are integers whereas irrational numbers are those numbers which cannot be expressed in a fraction. ... The denominator of a rational number is a natural number(a non-zero number).
