The Real Number System & Writing Equations

9/3/2015jwaid3 The Real Number System The Real Number System is divided into two categories: Rational and Irrational. Rational Numbers: Numbers, such as ½ and –3/1 that can be written as a ratio of two integers. Irrational Numbers: Real numbers, such as square root of 2 or , that are not rational.

9/3/2015jwaid4 The Real Number System Rational Numbers: Includes integers, whole numbers, natural numbers, and numbers written as the ratio of two integers. Integers: {... – 3, – 2, – 1, 0, 1, 2, 3,...} Whole Numbers: {0, 1, 2, 3,...} Natural Numbers: {1, 2, 3,...}

Example You know that 2,000,000 gallons of ice cream are produced in the US each day. You want to know how many days it will take to produce 40,000,000 gallons of ice cream.

Plan 1.Explore 2.Plan 1.Write an equation to represent the situation. 1.Let d represent the number of days needed to produce the ice cream. 2,000,000(d)=40,000,000 2.Solve 2,000,000(d)=40,000,000 d=20 3. Examine If 2,000,000 gallons of ice cream are produced in one day 2,000,000 x 20 or 40,000,000 gallons are produced in 20 days.
