Step-by-step explanation:

Old Railroad Car:

  • 1 day of coal in 15 hours
  • 1/15 days of coal in 1 hour

New Railroad Car:

  • 1 day of coal in 10 hours
  • 1/10 days of coal in 1 hour

Total number of days of coal in 1 hour

= 1/15 + 1/10 = 1/6.

Since there is 1/6 days of coal in 1 hour,

there will be 1 day of coal in 6 hours.

It will take them 6 hours to transport the supply.

Which of these numbers is irrational?<br> -3.5<br> 3.5<br> ОО<br> 35<br> √5 help
Molodets [167]

Answer:

  √5 is irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is one that can be written exactly as an integer or ratio of integers. Written as a decimal number, it will have a finite number of digits, or a repeating decimal fraction.

<h3>Application</h3>

Usually, a number that can <em>only</em> be expressed <em>exactly</em> using a <em>symbol</em> will be irrational. For square roots, any root of an integer other than a perfect square will be irrational.

The integer 5 is not a perfect square. It is between the squares 2²=4 and 3²=9. The square root of 5 is irrational.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

A reduced fraction whose denominator has factors other than 2 or 5 will translate to a repeating decimal. The number of repeating digits may be as many as 1 less than the denominator. For example, 1/19 has an 18-digit repeating decimal equivalent.
