Respuesta :

Answer:

Option D - 0.75741536

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Number [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

To find : Which numbers produces an irrational number when added to the given number?

Solution :

The given number is a rational number.

[tex]\frac{5}{8}=0.625[/tex]

We know, When any irrational number is added to a rational number produces another irrational number.

So, From the given options

A) 0.777... is a rational number as it is a repeating decimal.

So, when we add it form a rational number.

[tex]0.625+0.777..=1.402777....[/tex]

B) -0.625 is a rational number

So, when we add it form a rational number.

[tex]0.625+(-0.625)=0[/tex]

C) [tex]\frac{5}{6}=0.83333...[/tex] is a rational number

So, when we add it form a rational number.

[tex]0.625+0.8333=1.45833[/tex]

D) 0.13241536... is an irrational number as it is non-terminating and no9n repeating.

So, when we add it form an irrational number.

[tex]0.625+0.13241536...=0.75741536.....[/tex]

Therefore, Option D is correct.

Answer:

D)0.13241536...

Step-by-step explanation:

An irrational number is a number which cannot be expressed as a fraction. If you add a fraction to another fraction, a new fraction is obtained, e. g., 5/8 + 5/6 = 35/24.  

Options A, B can be represented as fractions (0.777... = 7/9) and (-0.625 = -625/1000); but, option D cannot.
