for any fraction a/b, the decimal format of it is just a ÷ b.
A)
is the number rational?
well, a rational number is one we can write as a ration or fraction, well clearly is a fraction so it is rational.
B)
can it be written as a repeating/recurring decimal? well, 9/20 is 0.45, so -9/20 is -0.45, no repeating decimal like 0.454545......... , just a plain vanilla -0.45, so nope.
C)
is it less than -0.4?
well, let's recall that for the negative side on the number line, the closer to 0, the larger the number, so then -1,000,000 is much smaller than -1, because -1 is closer to 0.
who is closer -0.4 or -0.45?
|--------------------- -0.45 -------- -0.40 ------------------- 0 --------------- 1 -------------------|
so, -0.45 is farther from 0, and therefore is smaller than -0.4, so yes.
First we calculate how many ways you can choose four books from a set of eight.
We use the formula n! / [r! * (n-r)!]
8! / [4! * 4!]
= 8*7*6*5 / 4*3*2*1 = 70 ways
Then we have to calculate how many permutations can be made from 4 objects which equals 4*3*2*1 = 24
So, the TOTAL number of ways = 70 * 24 = 1,680
Answer:
D)
Step-by-step explanation:
The hypotenuse is a bit longer than that of the longer side.
Say, 17 miles.
15+8+17
23+17
40
40 is equal to D.
Hope this helped!
