What is a rational number? |
A Rational Number is a real number that can be written as a simple fraction (i.e. as a ratio). Most numbers we use in everyday life are Rational Numbers. Example: 1.5 is a rational number because 1.5 = 3/2 (it can be written as a fraction) Here are some more examples: Number As a Fraction Rational? 5 5/1 Yes 1.75 7/4 Yes .001 1/1000 Yes -0.1 -1/10 Yes 0.111... 1/9 Yes √2 (square root of 2) ? NO ! Oops! The square root of 2 cannot be written as a simple fraction! |
|
|

How to find the LCD... |
Multiply the denominators together: 1/3 + 1/6 = ? 3 × 6 = 18 Another way... find out: List the multiples of the denominator (3): 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, ... List the multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, ... Then find the smallest number that is the same multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, ... multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, ... The answer is 6, and that is the LCD. |

Most of the energy captured by photosynthesis is stored in: carbon dioxide. oxygen. glucose. water. |
glucose. Photosynthesis is a process during which the light energy, water, and carbon dioxide are all absorbed by the plant. The plant then uses them to make glucose/sugar, which is the energy/food for the plant. Oxygen is also produced by the plant in this cycle and is released into the air. |

Prokaryotes have neither nuclei nor organelles with membranes. True bacteria fit in this domain. Archaea are microorganisms similar to bacteria in form but genetically so vastly different from everything else on the planet that they deserve their own unique branch on the tree of life. Archaea are often found in extreme environments including acidic conditions, boiling hot springs, deep ocean vents, or polar ice. |
