Answer:
Explanation:
A rational number can be written as a fraction of two integers.
√23 is irrational because we do not know what the square root of 23 is in terms of integers in a fraction.
104.42 is rational because it can be expressed as 10442/100 . We can express it as this because
104.42 * 1 = 104.42 * 100/100 = 10442/100, and multiplying something by 1 keeps it the same
√64 is rational because it is equal to 8, and 8/1 is equal to 8
49.396 with the 6 repeating is rational because we can express 49.39 as
49.39 * 1 = 49.39 * 100/100 = 4939/100, and we are then left with
49.396- 49.39 = 0.006 (with the 6 repeating). A repeating decimal can be expressed as x/9, with the x representing all values before the repetition begins multiplied by 10.
For example, 0.6 with the 6 repeating can be represented as 6/9. This is because 0.6 * 10 = 6, and we divide that by 9. Similarly, 0.006 with the 6 repeating can be represented by 0.06/9
We add the two fractions together to get
4939/100 + 0.06/9
multiply both fractions by the other's denominator to even them out and make the numerator of the second fraction an integer
(4939*9)/(100*9) + (0.06*100)/(9*100)
= 44451/900 + 6/900
= 44460/900
Assuming that the last number has only the digits given, that is rational because, similarly to 104.42, it can be multiplied by a power of 10 to result in (integer)/(integer), making it rational. If the dots represent infinite digits, then it is not rational because there are infinite digits that are not repeating, and there is no way to know the last digit, so it is impossible to write a fraction from it
