Answer:

Rational numbers are the numbers which are integers and fractions

Irrational numbers are the numbers whose expression as a fraction is not possible

Examples of Rational Number

1/9 – Both numerator and denominator are integers.

7 – Can be expressed as 7/1, wherein 7 is the quotient of integers 7 and 1.

√16 – As the square root can be simplified to 4, which is the quotient of fraction 4/1

0.5 – Can be written as 5/10 or 1/2 and all terminating decimals are rational.

0.3333333333 – All recurring decimals are rational.

Examples of Irrational Number

√2 – √2 cannot be simplified and so, it is irrational.

√7/5 – The given number is a fraction, but it is not the only criteria to be called as the rational number. Both numerator and denominator need to integers and √7 is not an integer. Hence, the given number is irrational.

3/0 – Fraction with denominator zero, is irrational.

π – As the decimal value of π is never-ending, never-repeating and never shows any pattern. Therefore, the value of pi is not exactly equal to any fraction. The number 22/7 is just and approximation.

0.3131131113 – The decimals are neither terminating nor recurring. So it cannot be expressed as a quotient of a fraction.

Kate has a rectangular garden that is 8 feet long by 3 feet wide. She wishes to extend the length and width by the same amount i
elena55 [62]
<span>Let the extension of the length and width be x.
 The new dimensions are: Length = 8+x
  Width =3+x
 Area = 104 ft squared
 Area of a rectangle = Length x Width
 Therefore,
(8+x)(3+x) = 104
 x^2 +11x +24=104
 x^2 +11x +24-104=0
 x^2 +11x-80=0

 Factorize using splitting the middle term method. X^2 +16x-5x-80=0 x(x+16)-5(x+16)=0 (x-5)(x+16)=0 either x-5 = 0 or x+16=0 x=5 or x=-16 length and width measure cannot be negative. Therefore, the extension of the length and width is 5 feet each.</span>

Question 2 Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading west and the other east. The westbound train travels at 95
lianna [129]

Answer:

it will take 1.4 hours for the two trains to be 294 miles apart

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be the time taken for each train

The westbound train travels at 95 miles per hour.

Speed of westbound train = 95

time = t

Distance = speed * time = 95 t

The eastbound train travels at 115 miles per hour

Speed of eastbound train = 115

time = t

Distance = speed * time = 115 t

both trains are 294 miles apart means the distance between both trains are 294 miles

So we add the distance of both trains and set it equal to 294

95t + 115t = 294

210 t =294

t = 1.4

So, it will take 1.4 hours for the two trains to be 294 miles apart
