Because if the number was rational then we can tell by looking at the numbers. The rational number should be one number or a repeating decimal or terminating number. plus because if a number was like this 5.7696... that means its irrational because we dont know the end of the number. The rational numbers are terminating numbers or either decimal or repeating numbers because we know the end of those numbers.
Let n represent the amount Colin earned on Sunday.
On Sat. he earned n/2; on Sun. he earned n; and on Friday he earned (1/2)(n/2).
Then n/2 + n + n/4 = $70
Mult. all terms by 4 to eliminate fractions:
2n + 4n + n = $280
7n = $280 => n = $40
Colin earned n/2, or $20, on Saturday; n, or $40, on Sunday; and n/4, or $10, on Friday.
Note that $20 and $40 and $10 add up to $70, as they must.
Answer:
1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2 ft. / the number of sides for width (2) = 1 then 3 ft. / number of sides for length (2) = 1.5
1.5 x 1 = 1.5
The number of natural numbers less than n is n-1.
Natural numbers are whole and positive numbers that are not 0.
If n is 2, there is one natural number less than n... and that is 1.
If n is 5, there are four natural numbers less than n... which are 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Answer:
a) -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is also known as the gradient
1. assign a value to x and solve for y:
when x = 2, y = 2
when x = 4, y = 0
2. Next, use the equation of a straight line to find the gradient
y = mx + c
y is the y-coordinate, m is the gradient, x is the x-coordinate, c is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, which is found by equating y to 0 and solving for x
so y = mx + c becomes 2 = m*2 + 4, which then becomes 2 = 2m + 4
2m = -2 (take 4 away from 2)
<u>m = -1 </u>
