First do 17 - 1 to get 16. Then subtract 0.2 from 16.0 to get 15.8.
Answer:
The sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational." By definition, an irrational number in decimal form goes on forever without repeating (a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal). By definition, a rational number in decimal form either terminates or repeats.
Step-by-step explanation:
However, if the irrational parts of the numbers have a zero sum (cancel each other out), the sum will be rational. "The product of two irrational numbers is SOMETIMES irrational." Each time they assume the sum is rational; however, upon rearranging the terms of their equation, they get a contradiction (that an irrational number is equal to a rational number). Since the assumption that the sum of a rational and irrational number is rational leads to a contradiction, the sum must be irrational.
At most she types 56 words per minute.....so she types 56 words or less
w < = 56....answer is A
So 2.25 is 50% of the original price
let's write original price as x
50% of x = 2.25
0.5 * x = 2.25
divide both sides by 0.5
x = 4.5
The original price is 4.5
To check:
50% * (4.5) =?= 2.25
0.5 * 4.5 =?= 2.25
2.25 = 2.25
Hope this helps.
