I'm trying to help my younger brother that's in 5th grade (I'm in 8th) on his math homework, and I don't even know some of these answers! He needs help on 2 problems, here they are:
Which is NOT a rational number?
A. -3.95
B. -7
---
5
C. 5
---
0
D. 3.14
Next one:
An environmental club planted 2 trees in a park for each of its members. There were already 12 trees in the park. Let 't' represent the number or members. Which equation represents the situation?
A. 2t + 12 = 38
B. 12t + 2 = 38
C. 2t - 12 = 38
D. 12t - 2 = 38
Second one is A(2t+12=38), because 2 times the number of members(represented as "t") is the number of trees planted, and 12 is the number already there.
