A hockey puck has a diameter of 3 inches and rolls on its edge for 24 rotations. How far did it roll before falling flat?

scoundrel [369]

Find the circumference of the puck using circumference = pi x diameter

Circumference = 3.14 x 3 = 9.42 inches.

For every rotation the puck would travel 9.42 inches.

Now multiply y by 24 rotations:

9.42 x 24 = 226.08 inches.

Answer: 226.08 inches

If n is a rational number then n2 is always less than n

stiv31 [10]

That easiliy false. You can prove this by observing that all integers are, in particular, rational numbers. So, for instance, you can think of 4 as $\frac{4}{1}$ , so $4 \in \mathbb{Z}\subset\mathbb{Q}$

And obviously, you have $4^2=16>4$

It is true that the square of every rational number between 0 and 1 is smaller than the number itself.

But since not all rational numbers are between 0 and 1, the general claim is false.
