There are 12 inches in a foot and if a yard is 3 feet then do:
3 x 12 and you get 36in
So there are 36 inches in a yard
The inequality is still true! If you add a number, say 5 to both sides of the following inequality, does anything change?
3 < 6
3 + 5 < 6 + 5
8 < 11
The inequality is still true. We know the statement holds for subtracting the same number because, in a way, addition and subtraction are pretty much the same operation. If I subtract 5 from both sides, I can think of it like "I add negative 5 to both sides" or something along those lines. It's kind of backwards thinking.
Answer:
"The product of a rational number and an irrational number is SOMETIMES irrational." If you multiply any irrational number by the rational number zero, the result will be zero, which is rational. Any other situation, however, of a rational times an irrational will be irrational
A better statement would be:
"The product of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number is irrational
Step-by-step explanation:
- 1⅔ < -¼
