2 2‾√ 2 is irrational. Write an explanation that Mai could use to convince her brother that 10/7 cannot be the square root of 2.

Answer:

The number 10/7 is a rational number, which means it can be expressed as a fraction. Also, if we divide it would give a decimal infinite periodical number, which means it has a pattern on its decimal numbers.

On the other hand, the square root of 2 is irrational number, that means it can't be expressed as a fraction, because its decimal numbers don't have any pattern at all.

So, Mai's brother can see these type of numbers as crazy (irrational numbers) and sane (rational numbers).

At last, another important characteristic to shows that they aren't equal is that they don't have the exactly decimal numbers.

How to simplify 45/100
fredd [130]

-- Look for a common factor of both the top and bottom numbers.

           ==>  5  is a common factor of  45  and  100 .

-- Divide the top and bottom numbers by their common factor.

           ==>  45/100  =  9/20 .

-- Look for another common factor of both the top and bottom numbers.

           ==>  The only common factor now is ' 1 ' .

           ==>  That means the fraction is now as simplified as it can get.

Six of the nine students are from middle gerogia state college. What is the probability that all three interviewed students are
ozzi

Answer:

0.2381 = 23.81%

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate this probability, we can calculate the probability of each student of the 3 students interviewed being from middle georgia state college.

If inicially there are six students from middle georgia state college among the nine students, the probability of the first student chosen being from middle georgia state college is 6/9.

Then, as one student was already picked, we have now 5 students from middle georgia state college in a total of 8 students, so the probability of the second student will be 5/8.

In the same way, the third student will be picked in a group of 7 students, where 4 are from middle georgia state college, so the probability is 4/7.

Multiplying all the probabilities, we have the probability of all three students interviewed being from middle georgia state college:

P = (6/9) * (5/8) * (4/7) = 120/504 = 0.2381 = 23.81%
