Bananas cost $0.50 each, and apples cost $.75 each. Jamie spends exactly $3.50 on apples and bananas. 1. Write an equation for this relationship, letting x = number of bananas purchased and y = number of apples purchased. Solve your equation for x. 3. Solve your equation for y.

1- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis.2- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in the first question?
