Question

Which expression can be used as part of a proof that shows the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational ?
A. a over b times c over d equals fraction numerator a c over denominator b d end fraction
B. a over b plus c not equal to p over qwhere c is irrational 
C. a over b plus c over d equals fraction numerator a d plus b c over denominator b d end fraction

The correct answer is: Use the properties of rational numbers


    Complete step by step solution:
    Here option B is the correct answer.

    Adam wraps the top edge of the gift box shown with gold ribbon. The top and bottom edges of the box are square. If Adam has 24 . 25 cm. of gold ribbon , does he have enough to decorate the top of the box ?

    The volume formula is a mathematical expression that can be used to calculate the total amount of space (vacuum) occupied by any three-dimensional object.
    The volume of an object is the amount of three-dimensional space occupied by the object or shape. It is typically measured in cubic units. In other words, the volume of any object or container is its ability to hold the amount of fluid (gas or liquid). Using arithmetic formulas, the volume of three-dimensional mathematical shapes such as the cube, cuboid, cylinder, prism, and cone, among others, can be easily calculated.
    Cuboid Formula
    V = l × w × h
    l represent Length
    w represent Width
    h represent Height
