Answer:
A) 0.5
B) 0.375
C) 0.375
D) 0.167
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call
a: Ariel
b: Bob
c: Chris
d: Diana
There are 4*3*2*1 = 24 total combinations to order the 4 children
A) Ariel is older than Diana in the following 12 cases:
a b c d
a b d c
a c b d
a c d b
a d b c
a d c b
b a c d
b a d c
b c a d
c a b d
c a d b
c b a d
Then, the probability is 12/24 = 0.5
B) The condition "Ariel is older than Diana, if it is given that Ariel is older than Bob" is satisfied in the six first cases and last three cases of before.
Then, the probability is 9/24 = 0.375
C) Ariel is older than Diana, if it is given that Chris is older than Diana, in the following cases:
a b c d
a c b d
a c d b
a d c b
b a c d
b c a d
c a b d
c a d b
c b a d
Then, the probability is 9/24 = 0.375
D) Ariel is older than Diana, if it is given that Diana is older than Bob, in the following cases:
a c d b
a d b c
a d c b
c a d b
Then, the probability is 4/24 = 0.167
Those are 185, 186 and 187
What you do is create this system of equations:
x+y+z=558 (three integers add up to 558)
x+1=y (they are consecutive, so that is translated as a number+1)
y+1=z (same logic as before)
And then you just resolve that system.
I will try to make this as simple as possible.
First off, we need to know what a rational number is: A rational number is any number that can be made by dividing 2 integers. For example:
1.5 would be a rational number because 1.5 = 3/2 (3 and 2 are both integers)
With that being said, let's begin.
First off, let's start with -0.3, let's ask ourselves, can we make this number by dividing 2 integers, the answer is yes, we can, by doing 
we have the equivalent of -0.3, so now we know it's a rational number.
As for the second one, it can't be a rational number because it can't be made by dividing to integers, so the answer is:
-0.3 is a rational number, but 3.14144144414444 is not.
Hope this helped! c:
