1.625 is less than 1.7
1.625<1.7
Answer:
The plumber worked for 1.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 130 + 56x
Substitute 214 for y in the equation
214 = 130 + 56x
-130 -130 Subtract 130 from both sides
84 = 56x Divide both sides by 56
1.5 = x
All you need to do is divide 2.25 by 2!
The answer is 1.125!
I hope this helps! :)
Claim: The difference between two rational numbers always is a rational number
Proof: You have a/b - c/d with a,b,c,d being integers and b,d not equal to 0.
Then:
a/b - c/d ----> ad/bd - bc/bd -----> (ad - bc)/bd
Since ad, bc, and bd are integers since integers are closed under the operation of multiplication and ad-bc is an integer since integers are closed under the operation of subtraction, then (ad-bc)/bd is a rational number since it is in the form of 1 integer divided by another and the denominator is not eqaul to 0 since b and d were not equal to 0. Thus a/b - c/d is a rational number.
