16/8 would be classified as a/an?<br> A:whole number <br> B:integer <br> C:Rational Number

Answer:

Whole Number

Step-by-step explanation:

Numerator. This is the number above the fraction line. For 16/8, the numerator is 16.

Denominator. This is the number below the fraction line. For 16/8, the denominator is 8.

Improper fraction. This is a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator.

Mixed number. This is a way of expressing an improper fraction by simplifying it to whole units and a smaller overall fraction. It's an integer (whole number) and a proper fraction.

Now let's go through the steps needed to convert 16/8 to a mixed number.

Step 1: Find the whole number

We first want to find the whole number, and to do this we divide the numerator by the denominator. Since we are only interested in whole numbers, we ignore any numbers to the right of the decimal point.

16/8 = 2

Now that we have our whole number for the mixed fraction, we need to find our new numerator for the fraction part of the mixed number.

Step 2: Get the new numerator

To work this out we'll use the whole number we calculated in step one (2) and multiply it by the original denominator (8). The result of that multiplication is then subtracted from the original numerator:

16 - (8 x 2) = 0

Step 3: Our mixed fraction

We've now simplified 16/8 to a mixed number. To see it, we just need to put the whole number together with our new numerator and original denominator:

2 (0/8)

You maybe have noticed here that our new numerator is actually 0. Since there is no remainder, we can remove the entire fraction part of this mixed number, leaving us with a final answer.

A rectangle has perimeter 28cm. Its area is 42sq.cm. Determine the dimensions of the rectangle. Include a diagram in your soluti

The dimensions of the rectangle are: b=9.65 cm and h=4.35 cm or b=4.35 cm and h= 9.65 cm.

<h3>Quadrilaterals</h3>

There are different types of quadrilaterals, for example, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, and parallelogram. Each type is defined accordingly to its length of sides and angles. For example, in a rectangle, the opposite sides are equal and parallel and their interior angles are equal to 90°.

The area of a rectangle is equal to base x height (A=bh). The perimeter of a geometric figure is the sum of its sides. Thus, for a rectangle, the perimeter is 2b+2h.

<h3>System of Linear Equations</h3>

System of linear equations is the given term math for two or more equations with the same variables. The solution of these equations represents the point at which the lines intersect.

The question gives:

Perimeter=28cm

Area= 42 cm²

If the perimeter is the sum of all sides of the rectangle, you have:

Perimeter= 2b+2h=28

If the area of the rectangle is 42cm², you have:

Area=bh=42 cm²

You can write a system of linear equations.

2b+2h=28 (1)

bh=42 (2)

From equation 2, you have $b=\frac{42}{h}$ . Then, you can replace it in equation 1.
