I assume you mean one that is not rational, such as √2. In such a case, you make a reasonable estimate of it's position, and then label the point that you plot.
For example, you know that √2 is greater than 1 and less than 2, so put the point at about 1½ (actual value is about 1.4142).
For √3, you know the answer is still less than 4, but greater than √2. If both of those points are required to be plotted just make sure you put it in proper relation, otherwise about 1¾ is plenty good (actual value is about 1.7321).
If you are going to get into larger numbers, it's not a bad idea to just learn a few roots. Certainly 2, 3, and 5 (2.2361) and 10 (3.1623) shouldn't be too hard.
Then for a number like 20, which you can quickly workout is √4•√5 or 2√5, you could easily guess about 4½ (4.4721).
They're usually not really interested in your graphing skills on this sort of exercise. They just want you to demonstrate that you have a grasp of the magnitude of irrational numbers.
Answer: 47.4 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Samuel's car usually takes about 12.5 gallons of gas to fill it up when it's empty and while in Canada, he noticed that one liter is equivalent to 0.264 gallons.
The number of liters it'll take to fill Samuels car will be:
= 12.5/0.264
= 47.4 litres

<h3><u>The length is equal to 25.</u></h3><h3><u>The width is equal to 15.</u></h3>
l = 2w - 5
2l + 2w = 80
We have a value for l, so we can plug it into the second equation to solve for w.
2(2w - 5) + 2w = 80
Distributive property.
4w - 10 + 2w = 80
Combine like terms.
6w - 10 = 80
Add 10 to both sides.
6w = 90
Divide both sides by 6.
w = 15
Now that we have a value for w, we can plug it into the original equation to solve for l.
l = 2(15) - 5
l = 30 - 5
l = 25
