The question is incomplete.Here is the complete question.

The load that can be supported by a rectangular beam varies jointly as the width of the beam and the square of its length, and inversely as the length of the beam. A beam 13 feet long, with a width of 6 inches and a height of 4 inches can support a maximum load of 800 pounds. If a similar board has a width of 8 inches and a height of 7 inches, how long must it be to support 1300 pounds?

Answer: It must be 392 inches or approximately 33 feet.

Step-by-step explanation: According to the question, the measures (width, length and height) of a beam and the weight it supports are in a relation of <u>proportionality</u>, i.e., if divided, the result is a constant.

For the first load:

width = 6in

height = 4in

length = 13ft or 156in

weight = 800lbs

Then, constant will be:

\frac{6.4^{2}}{156} k = 800

k=\frac{800.156}{96}

k = 1300

For the similar beam:

\frac{8.7^{2}}{L}1300=1300

L = 49.8

L = 392in or 32.8ft

A similar board will support 1300lbs if it has 392 inches or 32.8 feet long.

Select all the numbers that are rational.
anygoal [31]

Answers:

C, D, E

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is a integer. It is also a terminating or repeating decimal.

A rational number can be written as a fraction of two integers.

Answer A is not correct because it's decimal never ends. It is also not repeating. A cannot be written as a fraction.

Answer B is not correct because the square root is not a whole number, or a perfect square. The square root has a non-terminating and non-repeating decimal, just like A. B cannot be written as a fraction.

Answer C is rational because it has a terminating decimal.

D and E are integers, which also can be written as fractions.

Out of the options given, C, D, and E have rational numbers, while all others do not.

The answers are C, D, and E.
