Insert 3 rational numbers between

Answer:

\frac{ \sqrt{20} }{20}  \\ \sqrt{ \frac{1}{4} \times  \frac{ \sqrt{20} }{20}  } \\ \sqrt{ \frac{1}{5} \times  \frac{ \sqrt{20} }{20}  }

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have two numbers x and y, their geometric mean is defined as

\sqrt{xy}

Let that number be m, and let x be the smallest of the two numbers.

You know for sure that

x \leqslant m \leqslant y

Since

m  \geqslant  \sqrt{ {x}^{2} }

And

m \leqslant  \sqrt{ {y}^{2} }

With equality holding if and only if x=y.

So, we can use the geometric mean to generate numbers which are for sure between two desired values. For example:

\frac{1}{4}  <  \sqrt{ \frac{1}{4} \times  \frac{1}{5}  }  <  \frac{1}{5}

The middle term is of course irrational, since it's equal to

\frac{1}{  \sqrt{20}  }  =  \frac{ \sqrt{20} }{20}

Now we can do the same thing with our newfound value which we know to be between 1/4 and 1/5:

\frac{1}{4}  <  \sqrt{ \frac{1}{4}  \times  \frac{ \sqrt{20} }{20} }  <  \frac{1}{5}

And

\frac{1}{4}  <  \sqrt{ \frac{1}{5} \times  \frac{ \sqrt{20} }{20}  }  <  \frac{1}{5}

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

$7

Step-by-step explanation:

a) First let's organize the information:

    The cage cost $40

    two bowls cost the same

    the total was $54

b) Put it as an equation

    40+x+x= 54

c) we will subtract 54-40 and get 14

d) divide 14 by 2 and get 7 for the cost of each bowl.

Hope you understand it ;)
