Answer
given,
on first stop
number of car = 20 and number of trucks = 18
on second stop
number of car = 18 and number of trucks = 10
we need to calculate which rest stop has higher ratio of car to truck.
Rest Stop 1
ratio= r₁ =
r₁ =
r₁ =
Rest Stop 2
ratio= r₂ =
r₂ =
r₂=
hence, r₂ > r₁
rest stop 2 has more car to truck ratio than rest stop 1
Say r is rational. Suppose for a second, that s is not. Then, r+s is irrational. But this contradicts the fact that b is rational.
So, if one root is rational, then the other root is also rational
