Question 625831: the circumference of a compact disk is computed by using the diameter measured to the nearest te
nth of a centimeter and 3.14 as an approximation of pie.
which subset of numbers corresponds best to this situation?
rational numbers
integers- this was my answer
real numbers
whole numbers
can you explain this, I thought irrational numbers were those that represented pie. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):

------------
Ans:
3.14 is rational
Limiting the diameter to tenths gives a rational
Therefore circumference = Pie*d will be rational.
