If you use a proportion, you'll get:
Then, you use cross products:
Then, you algebraically solve x:
The answer is 5/3 inches , or 1 5/13 inches, or 1.6 repeating.
You need to expand the brackets eg.
(w-9)8 basically means 8 x (w-9) = 8w-72
Answer:
20 x 1 / 18= 1.11
Step-by-step explanation:
One
The sum of two rational numbers is always rational. sqrt(9) + sqrt(25) = 3 + 5 which is rational. sqrt(16/100) = 4/10 = 2/5 is also rational. 3/28 is rational as well.
Two
Those are irrational. sqrt(10) + pi = ???? You cannot reduce this to any kind of fraction. Two irrationals always give a rational.
Three
The irrational number controls the answer. 10 + sqrt(5) is irrational. The 10 is OK. It is raional, but sqrt(5) is not a rational number.
