You have 10 inches of ribbon and want to create some headbands for some toys. the headbands require 2 and 1/3 inches of ribbon each, how many complete headbands can you make? Explain your thinking.
what about the square root of 4? is it rational or irrational?
To find out how many complete headbands can be made with 10 inches of ribbon, we need to divide the total length of ribbon by the length required for each headband.
The length required for each headband is given as 2 and 1/3 inches, which can be simplified as 7/3 inches.
Let's perform the division:
10 inches ÷ 7/3 inches
To divide by a fraction, we multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction:
10 inches × 3/7 inches
Multiplying across, we get:
(10 × 3) / 7 inches
This gives us a result of 30/7 inches or 4 and 2/7 inches.
Since we cannot have a fraction of a headband, we need to round down the result. Therefore, it is possible to make a maximum of 4 complete headbands with 10 inches of ribbon.
To explain my thinking, I identified the amount of ribbon required for each headband and then divided the total length of ribbon by the length required per headband. By performing the division, I found the maximum number of complete headbands that can be made without any leftover ribbon.
Is the square root of 5 a rational or irrational number?
The square root of 5 is an irrational number.
The square root of 4 is a rational number. The square root of 4 is equal to 2, which can be expressed as a ratio of two integers (2/1). A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction or ratio of two integers.
