Answer:
[tex]2.5[/tex] [tex]-1.25[/tex] [tex]\sqrt{16}[/tex] [tex]0.6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Required
Which of the given parameters can be represented as fraction of integers
Taking them one at a time;
1. 2.5
This can be rewritten as
[tex]2.5 = \frac{2.5}{1}[/tex]
Multiply numerator and denominator by 2
[tex]2.5 = \frac{2.5 * 2}{1 * 2}[/tex]
[tex]2.5 = \frac{5}{2}[/tex]
Hence, 2.5 can be represented as fraction of integers
2. √14
This can be rewritten as
[tex]\sqrt{14} = 3.74165738677...[/tex]
The ... implies that the decimal continues and this cannot be represented as a fraction
3. -1.25
This can be rewritten as
[tex]-1.25 = \frac{-1.25}{1}[/tex]
Multiply numerator and denominator by 4
[tex]-1.25 = \frac{-1.25 * 4}{1 * 4}[/tex]
[tex]-1.25 = \frac{-5}{4}[/tex]
Hence, -1.25 can be represented as fraction of integers
4. 5.33333.....
The ... implies that the decimal continues and this cannot be represented as a fraction
5. √16
[tex]\sqrt{16} = \±4[/tex]
This can be rewritten as
[tex]\sqrt{16} = \±\frac{4}{1}[/tex]
Multiply numerator and denominator by 2
[tex]\sqrt{16} = \±\frac{4 * 2}{1 * 2}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{16} = \±\frac{8}{2}[/tex]
Hence, √16 can be represented as fraction of integers
6. 0.6
This can be rewritten as
[tex]0.6 = \frac{0.6}{1}[/tex]
Multiply numerator and denominator by 10
[tex]0.6 = \frac{0.6 * 10}{1 * 10}[/tex]
[tex]0.6 = \frac{6}{10}[/tex]
Hence, 0.6 can be represented as fraction of integers
