1/4 = 8/3 * x
X = 8/12
X= 2/3
Let number of plastic containers collected by fourth grade= x
Then number of plastic containers collected by fifth grade students=x-216
OR
If number of plastic container collected by fifth grade is y
then number of plastic container collected by fourth grade=y+216
So, we can write it as follows
⇒ number of plastic containers collected by fourth grade= number of plastic containers collected by fifth grade +216
Answer:
√5 is irrational
Step-by-step explanation:
A rational number is one that can be written exactly as an integer or ratio of integers. Written as a decimal number, it will have a finite number of digits, or a repeating decimal fraction.
<h3>Application</h3>
Usually, a number that can <em>only</em> be expressed <em>exactly</em> using a <em>symbol</em> will be irrational. For square roots, any root of an integer other than a perfect square will be irrational.
The integer 5 is not a perfect square. It is between the squares 2²=4 and 3²=9. The square root of 5 is irrational.

<em>Additional comment</em>
A reduced fraction whose denominator has factors other than 2 or 5 will translate to a repeating decimal. The number of repeating digits may be as many as 1 less than the denominator. For example, 1/19 has an 18-digit repeating decimal equivalent.
For this case we have the following expression:
For simplicity we follow the steps:
We apply distributive property to the terms within the parenthesis, bearing in mind that:
We add similar terms taking into account that equal signs are added and the same sign is placed, while different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed.
ANswer:
The missing number is the square-root of the constant term on the left-hand-side, which equals sqrt(1/16)=1/sqrt(16)=1/4.
Check:
(x+1/4)^2=x^2+2*(1/4)x+(1/4)^2=x^2+x/2+1/16. ok
Answer: x= 1/4
