Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

After adding 88 red marbles, there are 50 blue marbles out of the 204 marbles total.

Let the number of blue marbles to be added be x.

\frac{50+x}{204+x}=\frac{5}{12} \\ \\ 600+12x=1020+5x \\ \\ 420=7x \\ \\ x=60

Prove algebraically that 0.5 recurring = 5/9
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We require 2 equations with the recurring part after the decimal point.

Let x = 0.555..... → (1)

Multiply both sides by 10, then

10x = 5.555..... → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the recurring decimal

(10x - x) = (5.5555 - 0.5555 ), that is

9x = 5 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = \frac{5}{9}
