# To differentiate between rational and irrational numbers

 Page 1 / 3

## [lo 1.2.7]

1. Can you remember what each of the following represents?

N = { ........................................................................... }

N 0 = { ........................................................................... }

Z = { ........................................................................... }

R = { ........................................................................... }

2. Provide the definition for:

a rational number:

an irrational number:

3. How would you represent each of the following?

3.1 Rational number......................... 3.2 Irrational number .........................

4. Complete the following table by marking relevant numbers with an X:

5. Select the required numbers from the list:

$\frac{-2}{3}$ ; 1 + $\sqrt{4}$ ; $\sqrt{9+4}$ ; -4 ; $\text{12}\frac{1}{5}$ ; $\frac{1+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}$

5.1 Integers:

5.2 Rational numbers:

5.3 Irrational numbers:

6. Explain what you know about an equivalent fraction.

7. Provide two equivalent fractions for the following: $\frac{2}{7}$ = ............... = ...............

8. Provide the terms used to identify each of the following (e.g. proper fraction):

8.1 $\frac{2}{7}$

8.2 $\frac{7}{2}$

8.3 $6\frac{2}{7}$

8.4 0,67

8.5 $0,\stackrel{˙}{6}\stackrel{˙}{7}$

8.6 23 %

Any of the above can be reduced to any of the others.

## [lo 1.2.2, 1.2.6, 1.3, 1.6.1, 1.9.1]

1. Use your pocket calculator to reduce the following fraction to a decimal number:

2. Explain how you would reduce this to a decimal number without the use of your pocket calculator. There are two methods:

Method 1: .................................................. (reduce denominator to 10 / 100 / 1 000)

Method 2: .................................................. (do division)

• Do you see that the answer is the same – if the denominator cannot be reduced to multiples of 10 you have to apply the second method.

3. Now reduce each of the following to decimal numbers (round off, if necessary, to two digits):

3.1 $\frac{5}{8}$ ..................................................

3.2 $\frac{\text{13}}{4}$ ..................................................

3.3 $5\frac{3}{4}$ ..................................................

3.4 $3\frac{7}{8}$ ..................................................

3.5 $\frac{6}{7}$ ..................................................

3.6 $\frac{7}{9}$ ..................................................

4. Write the following decimal numbers as fractions or mixed numbers:(N.B.: All fractions have to be presented in their simplest form.)

4.1 6,008 ..................................................

4.2 4,65 ..................................................

4.3 0,375 ..................................................

4.4 7,075 ..................................................

4.5 13,65 ..................................................

4.6 0,125 ..................................................

5. How do we reduce fractions to recurring decimal numbers?

E.g. $\frac{5}{\text{11}}$

Step 1: place a comma after the 5, i.e. 5, 0000

The denominator of a certain fraction is 9 more than the numerator. If 6 is added to both terms of the fraction, the value of the fraction becomes 2/3. Find the original fraction. 2. The sum of the least and greatest of 3 consecutive integers is 60. What are the valu
1. x + 6 2 -------------- = _ x + 9 + 6 3 x + 6 3 ----------- x -- (cross multiply) x + 15 2 3(x + 6) = 2(x + 15) 3x + 18 = 2x + 30 (-2x from both) x + 18 = 30 (-18 from both) x = 12 Test: 12 + 6 18 2 -------------- = --- = --- 12 + 9 + 6 27 3

Mark and Don are planning to sell each of their marble collections at a garage sale. If Don has 1 more than 3 times the number of marbles Mark has, how many does each boy have to sell if the total number of marbles is 113?
Mark = x,. Don = 3x + 1 x + 3x + 1 = 113 4x = 112, x = 28 Mark = 28, Don = 85, 28 + 85 = 113

I think if critical temperature denote high temperature then a liquid stats boils that time the water stats to evaporate so some moles of h2o to up and due to high temp the bonding break they have low density so it can be a reason
