If the numbers after the decimal terminate, yes, it's rational.
9.521521521 = 9,521,521,521 / 1,000,000,000
If they don't terminate, but the pattern continues (which I suspect is the case here), yes, it's still rational.
If <em>x</em> = 9.521521521…, then
1000<em>x</em> = 9521.521521521…
Subtract <em>x</em> from this to eliminate the fractional part:
1000<em>x</em> - <em>x</em> = 9521.521521521… - 9.521521521…
999<em>x</em> = 9512
<em>x</em> = 9512/999
If they don't terminate, but the pattern does <em>not</em> continue, meaning the next few digits could be something random like
9.521521521<u>19484929271283583457</u>…
then the number would be irrational.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2 4/9
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to divide the two fractions.
You need to multiply 11/4 by the reciprocal of 9/8.
11/4 times 8/9
You can simplify first.
11 times 2/9
22/9
Simplify to
2 4/9
Answer:
b = -2 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, b. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First, subtract 5 from both sides:
-3b + 5 (-5) = 13 (-5)
-3b = 13 - 5
-3b = 8
Next, divide -3 from both sides:
(-3b)/-3 = (8)/-3
b = -8/3
b = -2 2/3
