Answer:

The real numbers include all the rational numbers, such as the integer −5 and the fraction 4/3, and all the irrational numbers, such as √2

Real numbers are used in measurements of continuously varying quantities such as size and time, in contrast to the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, …, arising from counting.

Hope this helps!

Dorothy types 120 words a minute. how many does Dorothy type in 1.75 minutes?

vekshin1

Dorothy can type 120 words per minute. Which can also be represented by
120 x 1 (minute)= 120

If you want to know how many words it takes her for 1.75 minutes, simply multiply 120 by 1.75.
120 x 1.75 (minutes)=210
Answer: 210 words
