To convert 0.72 to a rational number in simplest form, we can write it as a fraction:
0.72 = 72/100
Next, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor. In this case, 72 and 100 have a greatest common divisor of 4:
72/100 = (72/4) / (100/4) = 18/25
Therefore, 0.72 can be expressed as the rational number 18/25 in simplest form.
Which of the following is a rational number between 5 and 5 1/4?
A.√26
B.5 2/5
C.5 1/7
D.5 1/3
To determine which of the options is a rational number between 5 and 5 1/4, we need to find the option that is a fraction or a whole number.
Option B: 5 2/5 is a mixed number and can be written as the fraction 27/5, which is a rational number.
Option C: 5 1/7 is also a mixed number and can be written as the fraction 36/7, which is a rational number.
Option D: 5 1/3 is another mixed number and can be written as the fraction 16/3, which is a rational number.
Option A: √26 is an irrational number since it involves a square root (√) of a non-perfect square.
Therefore, the rational numbers between 5 and 5 1/4 are B. 5 2/5, C. 5 1/7, and D. 5 1/3.
so which one? sorry i got a bit confrused
Apologies for any confusion. The rational numbers between 5 and 5 1/4 are B. 5 2/5, C. 5 1/7, and D. 5 1/3. You can choose any of these options as they all qualify as rational numbers between 5 and 5 1/4.
but there is only one option on my screen
Apologies for the confusion. Based on the available option on your screen, the rational number between 5 and 5 1/4 would be B. 5 2/5.
What is a rational number with a denominator of 7 that is between √7 and √8. Write your answer as an improper fraction.
To find a rational number with a denominator of 7 that is between √7 and √8, we first need to determine the value of these square roots.
Calculating the square root of 7:
√7 ≈ 2.646
Calculating the square root of 8:
√8 ≈ 2.828
We can observe that the rational number we're looking for must be between 2.646 and 2.828, and since we need a denominator of 7, we can choose any numerator that will give us a value within this range.
Let's choose the numerator as 19, which lies between 2.646 and 2.828.
So, the rational number with a denominator of 7 that lies between √7 and √8 is 19/7.
Identify the choice that best describes the underlined word.
