Good night,
<span>Irrational numbers
are those that can't be expressed as a fraction:
12.89 can be expressed as: </span>


<span>The above numbers
can be expressed as a fraction, then the logical answer is: </span>

But we will check the answer:

As you can see we can't express that number as a fraction, so that is te correct answer.
It equals 40/6. I hope this helps. Good luck!
Answer: B) 4 & 1/6
Nice work on getting the correct answer.
============================================================
Explanation:
x is opposite the marked acute angle
5 is opposite the corresponding acute angle
So x and 5 are proportional to each other. We can form the ratio x/5
Similarly, 10 and 12 are proportional to one another. We can form the ratio 10/12.
Set those ratios equal to each other and solve for x
x/5 = 10/12
12x = 5*10 ... cross multiply
12x = 50
x = 50/12 ...... divide both sides by 12
x = (25*2)/(6*2)
x = 25/6
x = (24+1)/6
x = 24/6 + 1/6
x = 4 + 1/6
x = 4 & 1/6 which shows why <u>choice B</u> is the answer.
Side note: 25/6 = 4.167 approximately
$42 what you do is take $1400 times .03 which equals 3 percent and you get 42.
