Jenna is correct because the square root of a rational number can still be irrational.
Take for example the square root of 2. It is an irrational number than goes 1.41421...
If you multiply just the first however many digits of the result by itself, you will never end up with a perfect 2, because the square root is irrational.
To solve this answer, you are trying to find 55% of 600, because that is the number of people who chose plastic bag.
55% can be re-written as 55/100 OR 0.55 since percentages are always out of 100.
So, we do 0.55*600, which gives us 330. 330 people carry plastic bags.
The ratio of 186:76 can be simplified to 93:38 if we divide both numbers by 2.
Answer:
x < -8
Step-by-step explanation:
-x - 10 > 14 + 2x
Subtract 2x from both sides;
-3x - 10 > 14
Add 10 to both sides;
-3x > 24
Divide both sides by -3
The sign switches when divide by a negative number.
x < -8
