Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is irrational, it can never be rational unless it is acted upon by something else like a power.

Pi, no matter what is done to it, can never be rational. Once a number is declared as irrational, that is what it remains.

Write 9/10 as an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100 then write the fraction as a decimal

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Since the denominator has to be 100 and 9/10, 0.90, and 90% are all equal the you would just need to make the 9 into a 90. Therefore, yout answer will be 90/100.

Which shows the expression below simplified? 0.00048 - (3.4 × 10-5) A. 4.46 × 10-4 B. 3.39952 × 10-5 C. 4.46 × 10-5 D. 1.4 × 10-

MakcuM [25]

Option C

The simplified form of given expression is $4.46 \times 10^{-4}$

Solution:

Given that we have to simplify the expression shown below

$0.00048 - (3.4 \times 10^{-5})$

Let us first convert 0.00048 to scientific notation

Steps to follow:

Move the decimal point in your number until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The resulting decimal number is a.

Count how many places you moved the decimal point. This number is b.

If you moved the decimal to the left b is positive.

If you moved the decimal to the right b is negative.

If you did not need to move the decimal b = 0.

Write your scientific notation number as a x 10^b and read it as "a times 10 to the power of b."

Remove trailing 0's only if they were originally to the left of the decimal point.

$0.00048 = 4.8 \times 10^{-4}$

So the given expression becomes,

$\rightarrow 4.8 \times 10^{-4} - 3.4 \times 10^{-5}$

Let us make the exponent of second term as -4

$\rightarrow 4.8 \times 10^{-4} - 0.34 \times 10^{-4}$

Take $10^{-4}$ as common term,

$\rightarrow 10^{-4} (4.8 - 0.34)$

$\rightarrow 4.46 \times 10^{-4}$

Thus option C is correct

Gabriela bought a new pair of sunglasses when they were having a 30% off sale if the regular price of the glasses was 72% how mu

serg [7]

Answer is: 50.4%. You have to take 30% off of 72%. Easiest way is to find 10% of 72 (7.2) and multiply that by 3 (=21.6). Then minus this off the original price (72 - 21.6 = 50.4)

A pitcher of punch holds 2 gallons if 9 people share the entire pitcher how much do that get a peice

kirza4 [7]

To find how much each person will get, you have to divide the amount available by the people. There are 2 ways I believe we can do this.
First way
Let's divide.
2÷9= 2/9

Each person would get 2/9 of a gallon if they shared it.

Second way
I believe it would be easier to convert this into cups. There are 16 cups per gallon.
16×2= 32
Let's divide that by 9.
32÷9= 3 5/9 cups per person.

Each person would receive 2/9 of a gallon.
