Yes, it will always be a rational number. I'll expound on this by defining what a rational number is. It is any number that can be expressed as a fraction. Otherwise, it is called an irrational number with a non-terminating decimal expansion. So, although 1/3 has a non-terminating decimal expansion because it is equal to 0.33333333...., it is still a rational number because it can be expressed into a fraction.

An older person is 4 years older than 7 times the age of a younger person. The sum of their ages is 44. Find their ages

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

5 yr and 39 yr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the age of the younger

then 7x + 4 = the age of the older

Now x + 7x + 4 = 44

8x + 4 = 44

8x = 40

x = 5

7x + 4 = 7(5) + 4 = 35 + 4 = 39

Check: 5 + 39 = 44

In 2015, eighty-seven babies per one thousand died before reaching one year of age. This figure is called the infant mortality rate.

Infant mortality is defined as a child dying before turning one. The number of newborn deaths for every 1,000 live births is known as the infant mortality rate. The infant mortality rate is a significant indicator of the general health of a society in addition to providing us with valuable information on maternal and baby health. In the United States, there were 5.4 infant deaths for every 1,000 live births in 2020.

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The length of the building's shadow = 550.66 ft

Explanations:

The height of the Empie State Building = 1250 feet

The friend's height = 75 inches

The length of the friend's shadow = 33 inches

$\frac{Actual\text{ height of the friend}}{\text{Length of the friend's shadow}}=\text{ }\frac{Height\text{ of the building}}{\text{Length of the building's shadow}}$ $\begin{gathered} \frac{75}{33}=\text{ }\frac{1250}{\text{Length of the building's shadow}} \\ 2.27\text{ = }\frac{1250}{\text{Length of the building's shadow}} \\ \text{Length of the building's shadow = }\frac{1250}{2.27} \\ \text{Length of the building's shadow = }550.66\text{ f}et \end{gathered}$
