Answer 17

To convert 0.72 to a rational number in simplest form, we can write it as a fraction:

0.72 = 72/100

Next, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor. In this case, 72 and 100 have a greatest common divisor of 4:

72/100 = (72/4) / (100/4) = 18/25

Therefore, 0.72 can be expressed as the rational number 18/25 in simplest form.

Answer 18

To determine which of the options is a rational number between 5 and 5 1/4, we need to find the option that is a fraction or a whole number.

Option B: 5 2/5 is a mixed number and can be written as the fraction 27/5, which is a rational number.

Option C: 5 1/7 is also a mixed number and can be written as the fraction 36/7, which is a rational number.

Option D: 5 1/3 is another mixed number and can be written as the fraction 16/3, which is a rational number.

Option A: √26 is an irrational number since it involves a square root (√) of a non-perfect square.

Therefore, the rational numbers between 5 and 5 1/4 are B. 5 2/5, C. 5 1/7, and D. 5 1/3.

Answer 19

Apologies for any confusion. The rational numbers between 5 and 5 1/4 are B. 5 2/5, C. 5 1/7, and D. 5 1/3. You can choose any of these options as they all qualify as rational numbers between 5 and 5 1/4.

Answer 20

Apologies for the confusion. Based on the available option on your screen, the rational number between 5 and 5 1/4 would be B. 5 2/5.

Answer 21

To find a rational number with a denominator of 7 that is between √7 and √8, we first need to determine the value of these square roots.

Calculating the square root of 7:

√7 ≈ 2.646

Calculating the square root of 8:

√8 ≈ 2.828

We can observe that the rational number we're looking for must be between 2.646 and 2.828, and since we need a denominator of 7, we can choose any numerator that will give us a value within this range.

Let's choose the numerator as 19, which lies between 2.646 and 2.828.

So, the rational number with a denominator of 7 that lies between √7 and √8 is 19/7.
