Answer: If a number is rational, it can be represented as a simple fraction, it can be written as a terminating decimal, and a repeating decimal.
If a number is irrational, it cannot be represented as a simple fraction, it cannot be written as a terminating decimal, and not as a repeating decimal. It never ends, never repeats, just like the constant pi.
Step-by-step explanation:
So if a number is rational, it can be represented as a simple fraction, it can be written as a terminating decimal, and a repeating decimal.
If a number is irrational, it cannot be represented as a simple fraction, it cannot be written as a terminating decimal, and not as a repeating decimal. It never ends, never repeats, just like the constant pi.
2/3 of the list = 12
2/3x = 12
x = 12 / (2/3)
x = 12 * 3/2
x = 36/2
x = 18 <=== there are 18 words on the list
It is helpful to write them in different ways
some ways to write them are
1.fractions
2.decimals
3.squareroots (if applicable)
so it would be more helpful in an equation to leave 6/7 in fractional form if you are going to manipulate it more, because 0.857142857142... is much harder to keep track of than 6/7
and sometimes, they want a percent which is easier to convert to from decimal form than from fractinoal form so ex 0.857142857142...=85.7% vs 6/7 to percent
sometimes there will be square roots and they are easier if left like that ex
√2=1.4142135623...
it would be easier to leav it in square root
it depends on the equation you are trying to solve, because different forms have different pros and cons, some are easier to work with in a certain form but not in another, sometimes, you will need to change between multipule forms during the same problem
Answer:
$75
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we will find how many hours he worked. 8:00-12:00 is 4 hours, and 12:00-2:00 is 2 hours, so he worked a total of 6 hours.
Next, we have to multiply the hours worked by his hourly wage.
12.50*6=75
Answer: 2.236
Step-by-step explanation: The square root of 5 is expressed as √5 in the radical form and as (5)½ or (5)0.5 in the exponent form. The square root of 5 rounded up to 5 decimal places is 2.23607. It is the positive solution of the equation x2 = 5.
