Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
you need 4 one-fourth cups to make one cup. multiply 12 by 4 and you get 48
Answer:
log1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
A irrational number is a number that can't be expressed as a ratio of two whole numbers. That's it.
For examples (in increasing order of difficulty)
1 is a rational number because it is 1/1
0.75 is a rational number because it is equal to 3/4
2.333... (infinite number of digits, all equal to three) is rational because it is equal to 7/3.
sqrt(2) is not a rational number. This is not completely trivial to show but there are some relatively simple proofs of this fact. It's been known since the greek.
pi is irrational. This is much more complicated and is a result from 19th century.
As you see, there is absolutely no mention of the digits in the definition or in the proofs I presented.
Now the result that you probably hear about and wanted to remember (slightly incorrectly) is that a number is rational if and only if its decimal expansion is eventually periodic. What does it mean ?
Take, 5/700 and write it in decimal expansion. It is 0.0057142857142857.. As you can see the pattern "571428" is repeating in the the digits. That's what it means to have an eventually periodic decimal expansion. The length of the pattern can be anything, but as long as there is a repeating pattern, the number is rational and vice versa.
As a consequence, sqrt(2) does not have a periodic decimal expansion. So it has an infinite number of digits but moreover, the digits do not form any easy repeating pattern.
Answer: The percentage of legal quarters will be rejected by the vending machine = 2.275%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The weights of legal U.S. quarters have a normal distribution with a mean of 5.67 grams and a standard deviation of 0.07 gram.
Let x be the weights of legal U.S. quarters .
Required probability:
The percentage of legal quarters will be rejected by the vending machine = 2.275%
Answer:
102 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the total number of tickets sold is n.
7n = 2142
n = 2142 ÷ 7
n = 306
They sold 306 tickets in total.
We want to know how much they sold per night. We know they sold the same number of tickets each night for three nights.
306 ÷ 3 = 102
Therefore, they sold 102 tickets each night.
I hope this helps :)
