Answer:

A) Silvie is incorrect; the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is always irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

The concept of adding rational and irrational numbers states that the result will always be irrational.

Take for instance the addition of 4.5 and 3.142857

4.5 is a rational number because it can easily be expressed in fractions while 3.142857 is irrational because it can't be expressed as a simple fraction.

The addition of these two numbers gives 7.642857

7.642857 is an irrational number.

Similarly, any sum of two numbers (rational and irrational) will always result in irrational number.

Hence, Silvie is incorrect.

Fernando needs a total of 6
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Equation: 6f = 5

Result: 6/5 cup of flour is needed for each batch of bread

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6 cups of flour makes 5 batches of bread

Required

His much flour is needed for each batch.

Let f represent a cup of flour.

The statement "total of 6 cups of flour to make 5 batches of bread." means that

f + f + f + f + f + f = 5 batches of bread

f * 6 = 5

6f = 5

The above equation will give the number of cup needed for 1 batch of bread.

To do that, we simply divide both sides by 5

6f/5 = 5/5

6f/5 = 1

Hence,

The equation is represented by: 6f = 5

And the result is: 6/5 cup of flour is needed for each batch of bread
