Do you mean scientific notation?

If so,
A number is written in scientific notation when a number between 1 and 10 is multiplied by a power of 10. For example, 650,000,000 can be written in scientific notation as 6.5 ✕ 10^8.

In order to write a number in scientific notation, I suggest you place the tip of your pencil right after the last digit in the number.
Then go backwards, counting each jump to the next number (this will be your exponent number).
You will go backwards until you reach your first NON-ZERO digit, which is where you will place the decimal point.

Multiply the decimal you now have by 10 (multiplying by 10 applies every time!) and then to the power of however many spaces you went back.

How you would convert the repeating, nonterminating decimal to a fraction? Please EXPLAIN the process as you solve the problem,

Okay, here we go.

With simpler decimals, this is a bit easier so I'll explain that first to make sure you get the basic idea. 

Let's say you had a decimal for .75 and wanted to create the fraction mathematically. To do this you would:

First divide the decimal by 1 so .75/1
Then multiply be a multiple of 10 that eliminates the decimal so in this case 100
so you now have 75/100
When you simplify that fraction by dividing by 25, you of course get 3/4

Now on to your more complicated question:

Let's assign a variable to your repeating decimal so:

x=.1515151515

Now, let's identify the repeating digits, here they are .15

Move one set of the repeating digits in front of the decimal  so now we get:

100x=15.1515151515

Now you have two equations, they are:

x=.1515151515
100x=15.1515151515

Combine the equations into one equation:

100x-x=15.1515151515-.1515151515
99x=15
15/99
simplify and you get 5/33

What is the answer here and explain why.
Mama L [17]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 4(- x + 8) = 0

- 4≠ 0, so

- x + 8 = 0 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

- x = - 8 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = 8
