Use the paragraph to answer the question.
The platypus is an Australian mammal that does not fall neatly into a classification. It is one of only two mammals (the other being the echidna) that bear young by laying eggs. In some respects, the platypus resembles a duck; both have webbed feet and bills. The platypus has a tail like a beaver’s and a furry body similar to an otter’s. Its unusual hybrid of body parts makes it well-suited for its largely aquatic life. The platypus uses its webbed feet to paddle through water, and its tail serves as a kind of rudder for steering. While underwater, the platypus uses its bill to scoop up bits of food, such as insects and shellfish, from the water’s bottom. The platypus also scoops up bits of gravel, which grind up the food, as the platypus is toothless. The platypus stores the food and gravel in its cheeks until it reaches the water’s surface. Once the platypus surfaces, it consumes its meal.

While the invention of the steamboat is often attributed to American inventor Robert Fulton, credit should really go to John Fitch. Fitch built four steamboats in the late eighteenth century. These boats traveled successfully on lakes and rivers and proved that steam could be used to propel boats. Fitch’s boats included more traditional elements as well, such as paddle wheels and screw propellers. By blending tried and true methods of propulsion with new technology, Fitch created functioning steamboats. He forfeited his place in American memory due not to any mechanical failings, but to financial ones. His production and operating costs were too high to make steam travel economically feasible. As a result, many people have forgotten his role in the invention of the steamboat. It wasn’t until after his death that Robert Fulton created a commercially successful steamboat and became known as “the father of steam navigation.”

could you break that down for me please
Sure! Let's break down the distances given in the table:
1. The first distance is 23/4, which is equivalent to 5 3/4 or 5.75.
2. The second distance is 5.5¯¯¯, which is the same as 5.5 or 5 1/2.
3. The third distance is 28−−√, which represents the square root of 28. Without knowing the exact value of the square root, we can say that it is approximately 5.29.
Therefore, the correct order from least to greatest distance is:
1. 23/4 or 5.75
2. 5.5¯¯¯ or 5.5
3. 28−−√ or approximately 5.29
4. 5 1/2 or 5.5
how is The second distance 5.5¯¯¯, the same as 5.5 or 5 1/2?
I apologize for the confusion. The second distance, 5.5¯¯¯, actually represents a repeating decimal which means it does not have an exact decimal or fraction equivalent. Therefore, it cannot be represented as 5.5 or 5 1/2.
In that case, the correct order from least to greatest distance would be:
1. 23/4 or 5.75
2. 28−−√ or approximately 5.29
3. 5.5¯¯¯
you were right, i just want you to break it down for me.
I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Let's break down the second distance, 5.5¯¯¯, into decimal and fraction form:
5.5¯¯¯ represents a repeating decimal in which the digit 5 repeats indefinitely. To convert it to decimal form, you can represent it as 5.5555... or 5.5 with a bar above the 5 indicating that it repeats. However, this repeating decimal does not terminate or have a finite representation.
To convert it to fraction form, we can set it up as follows:
Let x = 5.5¯¯¯
Multiply both sides by 10 to move the decimal point:
10x = 55.5¯¯¯
Subtract the original equation from the second equation to eliminate the repeating decimal:
10x - x = 55.5¯¯¯ - 5.5¯¯¯
9x = 50
Divide both sides by 9:
x = 50/9
Therefore, the second distance, 5.5¯¯¯, can be represented as the fraction 50/9.
Now, let's rearrange the distances from least to greatest:
1. 23/4 or 5.75
2. 28−−√ or approximately 5.29
3. 50/9 or approximately 5.5555...
I apologize again for any confusion caused by the initial incorrect response.
The diagonal of a square equals 2–√
times the side length. Using 1.4 for the square root of 2, what is the approximate length in feet from one corner to an opposite corner of a square park that is 70 feet on a side?(1 point)
To find the length from one corner to an opposite corner of a square park, we need to calculate the diagonal of the square.
Given that the diagonal equals 2–√ times the side length, and we are given the side length as 70 feet, we can substitute these values into the formula.
Diagonal = (2–√) * Side length
Diagonal = (2 * 1.4) * 70
Diagonal = 2.8 * 70
Diagonal ≈ 196 feet
Therefore, the approximate length from one corner to an opposite corner of the square park is 196 feet.
Using a number line, what whole number and rational number to the nearest half is 30−−√
between?(1 point)
To determine the whole number and rational number to the nearest half that 30−−√ is between, we can approximate the value of 30−−√.
Using a calculator, we find that 30−−√ is approximately 5.48.
To the nearest half, 5.48 is between 5 and 5.5.
Therefore, the whole number and rational number to the nearest half that 30−−√ is between is 5 and 5.5.
Using a number line, what whole number and rational number to the nearest half is 68−−√
between?
To find the whole number and rational number to the nearest half that 68−−√ is between, we can estimate its value using a number line.
To begin, we can find the whole number that is closest to 68−−√. Since the square root of 68 falls between 8 and 9, we can say that the whole number part of 68−−√ is 8.
Next, we can determine the nearest half by looking at the decimal portion of 68−−√. Let's calculate the exact value:
68−−√ ≈ 8.24621125
The decimal value falls between 8 and 8.5, but it is closer to 8.5.
In summary, the whole number and rational number to the nearest half that 68−−√ is between are 8 and 8.5.
Convert 0.09¯¯¯¯¯
to a rational number in simplest form.
To convert the repeating decimal 0.09¯¯¯¯¯ to a rational number in simplest form, we can set it up as follows:
Let x = 0.09¯¯¯¯¯
Multiply both sides of the equation by 1000 (because there are three repeating digits):
1000x = 90.09¯¯¯¯¯
Subtracting the original equation from the new equation, we get:
1000x - x = 90.09¯¯¯¯¯ - 0.09¯¯¯¯¯
999x = 90
Dividing both sides by 999:
x = 90/999
We can further simplify this fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 90 and 999, which is 9:
x = (90/9) / (999/9)
x = 10/111
Therefore, the rational number in simplest form that is equivalent to 0.09¯¯¯¯¯ is 10/111.
but there are only two repeating digits.
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct that there are only two repeating digits in the original number 0.09¯¯¯¯¯.
To convert 0.09¯¯¯¯¯ to a rational number in simplest form, we can set it up as follows:
Let x = 0.09¯¯¯¯¯
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 100 (because there are two repeating digits):
100x = 9.09¯¯¯¯¯
Subtracting the original equation from the new equation, we get:
100x - x = 9.09¯¯¯¯¯ - 0.09¯¯¯¯¯
99x = 9
Dividing both sides by 99:
x = 9/99
We can further simplify this fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 9 and 99, which is 9:
x = (9/9) / (99/9)
x = 1/11
Therefore, the rational number in simplest form that is equivalent to 0.09¯¯¯¯¯ is 1/11.
Convert 0.7¯¯¯
to a fraction.
To convert the repeating decimal 0.7¯¯¯ to a fraction, we can set it up as follows:
Let x = 0.7¯¯¯
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 10 (because there is one repeating digit):
10x = 7.7¯¯¯
Subtracting the original equation from the new equation, we get:
10x - x = 7.7¯¯¯ - 0.7¯¯¯
9x = 7
Dividing both sides by 9:
x = 7/9
Therefore, the fraction equivalent of 0.7¯¯¯ is 7/9.
Which of the following is an irrational number between 4 and 8?(1 point)
Responses
12−−√
square root of 12
17−−√
square root of 17
8–√
square root of 8
5–√
The correct irrational number between 4 and 8 is the square root of 5, written as √5.
Therefore, the correct response is: 5–√
explain that please
To determine the irrational number between 4 and 8, we need to consider the square root of numbers within that range. Recall that an irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers, and the square root of a non-perfect square number is typically an irrational number.
Considering the given options:
1. The square root of 12 is not between 4 and 8. Approximately, it is about 3.464.
2. The square root of 17 is also not between 4 and 8. Approximately, it is about 4.123.
3. The square root of 8 is not between 4 and 8 either. Approximately, it is about 2.828.
However, the square root of 5, which is approximately 2.236, does fall between 4 and 8.
Hence, the correct irrational number between 4 and 8 is the square root of 5, represented as 5–√.
4.1 is between 4 and 8
You are correct, and I apologize for the oversight in my previous response. 4.1 is indeed a number between 4 and 8.
However, in the given options, all the choices represent square roots and none of them are equal to 4.1. Therefore, none of the options provided in the given responses are the correct answer.
17√ is between 4 and 8
I apologize for the confusion caused by the previous response. You are correct. 17√ is a valid irrational number between 4 and 8.
Thank you for pointing out the error.
