Answer: The girls walked 1\dfrac38 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  Distance from home to school = \dfrac{6}{10} mile

Distance from school to store = \dfrac38 mile

Distance from store to home = \dfrac25 miles

Total distance = \dfrac6{10}+\dfrac38+\dfrac25

= \dfrac{6\times4+3\times5+2\times8}{40}   [L.C.M.(10,8,5)=40]

= \dfrac{24+15+16}{40}

= \dfrac{55}{40}

= \dfrac{11}{8}=1\dfrac38  miles

Hence, The girls walked 1\dfrac38 miles.

Which number produces
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

A is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction plus a fraction is equal to a fraction. An irrational number cannot be expressed as a fraction.

0.3333333 even though it looks like an irrational number it is actually: 1/3

3/5 is already a fraction so adding it with another fraction will NOT equal an irrational number (decimal)

-0.75 is equal to -3/4 (75/100 => 3/4). Same thing that applies above.

However, Pi cannot be expressed as a fraction exactly. You can round up like 3.14. However it is not the full number. So 3.141592654....+(3/4) is not going to add up perfectly into a fraction.

In short, a fraction is a rational number. Rational + Rational = Rational. Irrational + Rational = Irrational.

3xsquare-9x-30=0<br> What’s the answer
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

x = - 2 or x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x² - 9x - 30 = 0 ← in standard form

Divide all terms by 3

x² - 3x - 10 = 0

To factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 10) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 3)

The factors are - 5 and + 2, since

- 5 × 2 = - 10 and - 5 + 2 = - 3, thus

x² - 3x - 10 = 0

(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
