1 Convert the following numbers into fractions. a) 0.58 b) 0.16

8.NS.1

1a´ Convert the following numbers into fractions. a) 0.009 b) 2.4 Choose whether each number is Rational or Irrational.

8.NS.1

Solution:

a) 0.58 = 58100

0.58 is 58 hundredths.

=2 ⋅292 ⋅50

Decompose the numerator and

=2950

Simplify.

b) Assign a variable to the value 0.16 , such as N. Multiply that value by a power of 10 according to how many numbers in N repeat. Since 2 numbers repeat, we will multiply by 100 because it has 2 zeros. N = 0.16 Assign a variable 100(N) = 100(0.16 ) Multiply by a power of 10 100N = 16.16 Simplify 100N – N = 16.16 – 0.16 Subtract N from both sides 99N = 16 Simplify 99N = 16 Divide to solve for N 99 99

N = 1699

To solve equations with variables on both sides, collect the variable terms on one side of the equation and the constant terms on the other side of the equation. If, while solving the equation, you are left with a statement without variables that is false, such as 5 = 0, then the equation has no solutions. If you are left with one that is always true, such as 5 = 5, it is an identity and has infinitely many solutions.

A) There are no solutions. B) The system graphed is y = x + 2 y = 3x + 4 C) There is one solution at (0, 2). D) There are an infinite number of solutions. E) The solution is at (1, –1).

Solution: The solution to a linear system is the point(s) that is a solution(s) to both linear equations. This means that any point that is a solution will be a point that lies on both lines (or the point of intersection). These lines intersect at the point (–2, –2), therefore this point is the solution. Line 1 has a y-intercept of 1 and a slope of 3

2. Using the

slope-intercept form its equation is y = 32

of Line 2 is y = − 34x − 72

Solution: a) Assign a variable to the value 0.009 , such as N. Multiply that value by a power of 10 according to how many numbers in N repeat. Since 3 numbers repeat, we will multiply by 1000 because it has 3 zeros. N = 0.009 Assign a variable 1000(N) = 1000(0.009 ) Multiply by a power of 10 1000N = 9.009 Simplify 1000N – N = 9.009 – 0.009 Subtract N from both sides 999N = 9 Simplify 999N = 9 Divide to solve for N 999 999

Equation: The equation for the distance y in feet as a function of the time x in hours is:

y = 20x Explanation: The equation represents a greater speed because they would travel 20 feet per minute. This speed in the table is only 10 feet per minute. This is found by finding the rate of change from any 2 points in the data: 100− 4010− 4
