Given:
3-pound tub of butter costs $3.85
3.85/3 = 1.2833 per pound.
3n = 3.85
3(1.2833) = 3.85
3.8499 = 3.85
3.85 = 3.85
A
rational number is a number which can be expressed as a fraction whose
numerator and denominator are both integers and whose denominator is not equal
to zero. Rational numbers include all integers, fractions, mixed numbers, and
some decimal numbers.
Note : All terminating and repeating decimal
numbers are rational numbers because those numbers can be expressed as a
fraction. On the other hand, a non repeating number and non terminating
decimal, like square root of 2, is an irrational number.

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula
1/2 (base) (height)
Let's substitute our known values, letting x represent the value of the height of the triangle.
16 = 1/2* x* 2x
Let's Simplify!
16 = x^2
Finally, lets take the square root of both sides, to get rid of the exponent on the right side of the equation.
x= positive OR negative 4.
However, because x is equal to the height, we know that it can't be negative, so we know that it is positive 4.
The height of the triangle = 4 inches
The base of the triangle = 2h = 8 inches
