1)  

 Which of the following describe 3.491 Select all that apply.

 


Answer: 1


SOLUTION 1 :

Rember:

Rational numbers can be writtenas ab

(where a and b are integers and b is not zero).When written as decimals , rational numbers terminate or repeat.

Irrational numbers cannot be written as ab
( where a and b are integers and b is not zero). When written as decimals , irrational numbers do not terminateor repeat.
 
Solve:
 
3.491 is a terminating decimal. So, 3.491 is a rational number.
 
Since 3.491 is a rational number,it is not an irrational number.


2)  

 Is   56  a rational number



Answer: 2


SOLUTION 1 :

4)  

 Which of the following is a rational number





Answer: 3


 
 


SOLUTION 1 :

Rember:

Rational numbers can be writtenas ab

(where a and b are integers and b is not zero).When written as decimals , rational numbers terminate or repeat.

Irrational numbers cannot be written as ab
( where a and b are integers and b is not zero). When written as decimals , irrational numbers do not terminateor repeat.
 
Solve:
3 can be written as 31  which is afraction. So,3 is a rational number.
 
6 can be written as 61  which is afraction. So,6 is a rational number.
 
9 can be written as 91  which is afraction. So,9 is a rational number.
 
the rational numbers are 3, 6, 9 
 
So, answer is all the choice is correct
 

 



5)  

 Which of the following describe 5.664 Select all that apply.

 


Answer: 2

Solve:
1 can be written as 11  which is afraction. So,1 is a rational number.
 
5 can be written as 51  which is afraction. So,5 is a rational number.
 
7 can be written as 71  which is afraction. So,7 is a rational number.
 
the rational numbers are 1, 5, 7 
 
So, answer is all the choice is correct
 

 



9)  

 Which of the following describe 3.719 Select all that apply.

 


Answer: 1


SOLUTION 1 :
