If the numbers after the decimal terminate, yes, it's rational.

9.521521521 = 9,521,521,521 / 1,000,000,000

If they don't terminate, but the pattern continues (which I suspect is the case here), yes, it's still rational.

If x = 9.521521521…, then

1000x = 9521.521521521…

Subtract x from this to eliminate the fractional part:

1000x - x = 9521.521521521… - 9.521521521…

999x = 9512

x = 9512/999

If they don't terminate, but the pattern does not continue, meaning the next few digits could be something random like

9.52152152119484929271283583457…

then the number would be irrational.

The family wants to determine if they can drive to the national park using Just one tank of gas in their car. Determine whether

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The Fullers can reach the national park

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

The Fuller family wants to drive to a national park. Some information about their trip is given in the table below.

Distance to national park 515 miles

Car’s gas tank capacity 20 gallons

Average gas mileage for car 26 miles per gallon

The family wants to determine if they can drive to the national park using just one tank of gas in their car. Determine whether the Fullers can reach the national park. Show your work or explain your answer.

we know that

The Average gas mileage for the car is 26 miles per gallon

That means

With 1 gallon the car runs 26 miles

using a proportion

Find out how many miles the car runs with 20 gallons (one tank of gas)

$\frac{26}{1}\ \frac{miles}{gallon}=\frac{x}{20}\ \frac{miles}{gallons}\\\\x=26(20)\\\\x=520\ miles$

Compare with the distance to the national park

$520\ miles>515\ miles$

therefore

The Fullers can reach the national park

Which polygon will not tessellate a plane?

netineya [11]

Answer:

Regular Octagon

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only three regular shapes that tessellate – the square, the equilateral triangle, and the regular hexagon. All other regular shapes, like the regular pentagon and regular octagon, do not tessellate on their own.

Answer: 62

Step-by-step explanation: In the red empty spot, the #5 would go there and in the blue spot the #6 would go there. 8x2=16 and 16+16= 32: t=This is for the to rectangle shapes on both sides. Now for the square in the middle, since the red spot is 5 and the blue is 6, 5x6= 30. So, 30+32=62.
