A rational number is a number that can be written as a fraction, or a ration, an irrationalnumber can be written as a decimal but not a fraction

A rational number can be written as a ratio (fraction) and an irrational number cannot.
For example, 5 is a rational number because it can be written as 5/1, but π cannot be written as a fraction, because it is a never ending, never repeating decimal. (3.141592653589793...)

Olivia walked 2 2/5 km in 2/3 hour while Ryan walked 4 1/2 km in 1 1/2 hours. Who walked faster and how much faster?

Aleks04 [339]

Find the unit rate for each Olivia and Ryan:

2 2/5 km 15 36 km
------------ * ------- = ------------ = 3.6 km/hr (Olivia)
2/3 hr 15 10 hr

4 1/2 km 2 9 km
------------- * --------- = --------- = 3 km/hr (Ryan)
1 1/2 hr 2 3 hr

Olivia walked 0.6 km/hr faster than did Ryan.

C. This is because the lines of the graphs can be seen using these. The inequality symbols in this case do not help you make the decision.
