Numbers Between Rational Numbers Discussion
Math 8 Q1 (Pre-Algebra) / The Number System
In your journal, you identified careers that involve irrational numbers. You brainstormed or researched jobs that use pi or Euler’s number to do their work.
Imagine that your friend loves to plan parties, and he wants to be an event planner someday. He does not think he needs to know how to find a number between two rational numbers. He also says he will never use pi again in his life after math class. You think of some of the tasks he might need to do as an event planner:

tell me how many cakes
To determine how many cakes to order for 75 people at the party, you will need to consider the serving size per cake. This will depend on the desired portion size per person and the type of cake being served.
For example, if each person is expected to receive one slice of cake, and a standard cake typically has around 8-12 servings, you would divide 75 by the number of servings per cake to determine the number of cakes needed.
Let's say you choose a cake with 10 servings per cake.
Number of cakes needed = Number of people / Number of servings per cake
Number of cakes needed = 75 / 10
Number of cakes needed = 7.5
Since you cannot have a fraction of a cake, you would need to round up to the nearest whole number. Thus, your friend would need to order 8 cakes to ensure there is enough for everyone at the party.
