Cindy's argument is incorrect. 1/3 is a rational number because it can be expressed as the ratio of two integers. The fact that the decimal representation of 1/3 does not terminate does not make it irrational.
Cindy's argument is incorrect. A fraction is considered irrational if it cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers. In the case of 1/3, it can be expressed as the division of the integer 1 by the integer 3, so it is a rational number. The fact that the decimal representation of 1/3 (0.333...) does not terminate does not make it irrational. Irrational numbers are decimal numbers that do not repeat or terminate, such as π (pi) and √2 (the square root of 2).

Derek pays 15% of the yearly cost of his life insurance, which amounts to $173.18 per year.
The total cost of Derek's life insurance for a year is calculated by multiplying the monthly fee by the number of months in a year (i.e. $96.21 x 12 = $1154.52). As Derek's employer is covering 85% of the cost, Derek is responsible for the remaining 15%. Therefore, the yearly cost deducted from Derek's gross income would be $1154.52 x 15% = $173.18. It's crucial to understand that these costs can vary depending on the insurance coverage, the employee benefits provided by the employer, and the individual's income.
