Answer:

no its a rational number

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational Numbers A rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio.

That means it can be written as a fraction, in which both the numerator (the number on top) and the denominator (the number on the bottom) are whole numbers.

irrational not expressible as a ratio of two integers, and having an infinite and nonrecurring expansion when expressed as a decimal.

Examples of irrational numbers are the number π and the square root of 2.

Answer:

315/8 GIVES 39.375.

But 35.375 Is actually a rational number,because it is terminating after 3 decimal places.

Hence its not a rational number

A carpenter is assigned the job of expanding a rectangular deck where the width is one-fourth the length. the length of the deck

anzhelika [568]

Alright, lets get started.

Suppose the original deck size: width = x feet

the width is one-fourth the length given in question means length = 4 x feet

Means the originally area = $x * 4 x = 4 x^{2}$

Now the dimensions are changed.

New dimensions, width = (x + 6)

new length = (4x+10)

So, new area will be = $(x+6) * (4x+10) = 4x^{2} + 10 x + 24 x + 60 = 4x^{2} + 34 x + 60$

the area of the new rectangular deck is 128 ft2 larger than the area of the original deck, means

$4x^{2} + 128= 4x^{2} + 34 x + 60$

Subtracting $4x^{2}$ from both sides

$128 = 34 x + 60$

Subtracting 60 from both sides

$128 - 60 = 34 x + 60 - 60$

$68 = 34 x$

Dividing 34 in both sides

$\frac{68}{34} = \frac{34 x }{34}$

$x = 2$

Means width = 2 feet

Length would be = 4 time width = 4 * 2 = 8 feet

Means dimension of original deck would be = 2 feet and 8 feet :Answer

Hope it will help :)
