Answer:

9.2 bookcases

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the number of bookcases repainted.

-Given the available paint is  4 3/5 gallons and that each bookcase consume 1/2 gallon, we equate and solve for X:

X=\frac{P_t}{P_b_c}, P_t=4\frac{3}{5}, P_{bc}=\frac{1}{2}\\\\\\X=\frac{4\frac{3}{5}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\X=9\frac{1}{5}

Hence, the number of bookcases repaind is 9.2

Which is the sum of 3/10 and 1/3
Ilya [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

\:  \:  \:  \:  \: \frac{3}{10}  +  \frac{1}{3}  \\  \\  =  \frac{3 \times 3}{10 \times 3}  +  \frac{1 \times 10}{3 \times 10}  \\  \\  =  \frac{9}{30}  +  \frac{10}{30}  \\ \\   =  \frac{19}{30}  \\  \\ so \: as \: you \: see \: here \: we \: should \: put \: same \: denominator \\ \: for \: both \: fractions. \: hope \: this \: helps.. \\ good \: luck

Which of the following is not a rational number?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Option D is not a rational number

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is one that can be represented in the form of fraction like X/Y, where X and Y are integers and X ≠ 0. While an irrational number is one that cannot be expressed in the form of simple fractions.

For example, ¾ is a rational number while √3 is an irrational number.

Now to the question;

A) The product of 2 and 0.3333 gives;

2 × 0.3333 = 0.6666.

This can be expressed as a fraction as; 6666/10000.

Thus it is a rational number

B) The sum of 2 + √3 and 5 - √3 gives;

2 + √3 + 5 - √3 = 7

As a fraction, it can be written as; 7/1

Thus it is a rational number.

C) The sum of 37 and 12 is;

37 + 12 = 49

Can be expressed as; 49/1

Thus,it's a rational number.

D) Product of 2 and √2 gives;

2 × √2 = 2√2

It can't be expressed as a fraction with integers. Thus, it's not a rational number.
