Question

Fabrizio creates a scavenger hunt for his friend Milo. He hands Milo four envelopes, each with some writing on the outside, as shown below. Envelope 1: 4 × – 4 – 4 + 4 Envelope 2: 1 + 2 – 3 1 – 2 + 3 Envelope 3: – 10 5 × 0 × – 2 Envelope 4: 7 – 6 11 – 8 – 3 He tells Milo that the correct clue to start the hunt is inside the envelope with a rational number written on it. Which envelope has the correct starting clue? wide, and the pockets are separated by 1 4 inches with a 1 4-inch border around the outside. One row of pockets holds 4 calculators, as shown below. image What is the total number of inches across each row?

Answer 1

An envelope that has the correct starting clue include the following: B. Envelope 2.

In Mathematics and Geometry, a rational number is a type of number which comprises fractions, integers, terminating or repeating decimals such as the 0, 2/3, 0.12345678901234567890, etc.

Generally speaking, a rational number is a type of number that is represented as p/q.

where:

p and q are integers

q ≠ 0.

Based on the information provided about the clue on each envelopes, we have the following;

Envelope 1 =
`(4 * -4)/(-4+4)`

Envelope 1 = -16/0

Envelope 1 = undefined (Not a rational number).

Envelope 2 =
`(1+2-3)/(1-2+3)`

Envelope 2 = 0/-2

Envelope 2 = 0 (A rational number).

Envelope 3 =
`(-10)/(5 * 0 * -2)`

Envelope 3 = undefined (Not a rational number).

Envelope 4 =
`(7-6)/(11-8-3)`

Envelope 4 = undefined (Not a rational number).
