Question
$3.$ Irrational numbers can provide more precision on measuring scale.
What can be the possible arguments in favour and against this statement$?$

Answer

$3.$ Uses the deinition of irrational numbers in the explanation and identiies the limitation of their placement on a measuring scale
● Irrational numbers are non-terminating with more number of decimals so precision on measuring scale can be more. But they are non-terminating, so ixing their exact location on a measuring scale is not possible.

A teacher is a person whose professional activity involves planning, organizing, and conducting group activities to develop students’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes as stipulated by educational programs. Teachers may work with students as a whole class, in small groups or one$-$to$-$one, inside or outside regular classrooms. In this indicator, teachers are compared by their average age and work experience measured in years.
For the same in $2015,$ the following distribution of ages $($in years$)$ of primary school teachers in a district was collected to evaluate the teacher on the above$-$mentioned criterion.
