Answer:

  • 3 packages of American (7/8 lb)
  • 2 packages of cheddar (1/2 lb)

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of cheese Mrs Mack needs is an odd number of eighths of a pound. So, she must buy an odd number of the 7/8 pound packages.

If she were to buy any 1/5 pound packages, she would have to buy a multiple of 5 of them so as to have an integral number of eighths. The only suitable multiple is 0.

If Mrs Mack buys 1 of the 7/8 pound packages, she cannot make up the difference with half-pound packages. She must buy 3 of the 7/8 pound packages, for a total of 2 5/8 pounds of American cheese. The remaining pound can be bought as 2 of the 1/2 pound packages.

To buy 3 5/8 pounds, Mrs Mack must purchase ...

  3 packages of American cheese (7/8 lb each)

  2 packages of Cheddar cheese (1/2 lb each)

Is pi/pi irrational
dedylja [7]

Answer:

No, \frac{\pi}{\pi} is 1 which can be written as \frac{1}{1}. The definition of rationals is any number that can be written as a ratio of an integer to an integer where the bottom integer is not 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{\pi}{\pi}=1  since 1(\pi)=\pi.

Rational numbers included anything that can be written as a fraction where the top and bottom are integers (bottom integer is not 0).

1 can be written many different ways. It can be written as \frac{1}{1}.

Both the numerator and the denominator of the rewrite of one that I did are integers.

The integers include the following numbers:

{...,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,...}.

The integers are the whole numbers and the opposite of the whole numbers.

The whole numbers are {0,1,2,3,4,...}.

The opposite of the whole whole numbers are {...,-4,-3,-2,-1,0}.

John’s gross pay for the week is $500. He pays 1.45 percent in Medicare tax, 6.2 percent in Social Security tax, 2 percent in st
olchik [2.2K]
Gross pay = 500

deductions :
medicare tax : 0.0145(500) = 7.25
S.S tax : 0.062(500) = 31.00
sales tax : 0.02(500) = 10.00
income tax : 0.2(500) = 100
insurance = 20
total deductions : 7.25 + 31 + 10 + 100 + 20 = 168.25

gross pay - deductions = net pay
500 - 168.25 = net pay
331.75 = net pay <===
