Answer:

_

66,6% = ⅔

_

33,3% = ⅓

85% = 17⁄20

80% = ⅘

75% = ¾

90% = 9⁄10

20% = ⅕

10% = ⅒

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert from a fraction to a percentage, divide both the denominator and numerator to get a decimal point, then move the decimal point twice to the right, then attach the percentage symbol:

⅒ = 0,1 = 10%

⤻⤻

⅕ = 0,2 = 20%

⤻⤻

9⁄10 = 0,9 = 90%

⤻⤻

¾ = 0,75 = 75%

⤻⤻

⅘ = 0,8 = 80%

⤻⤻

17⁄20 = 0,85 = 85%

⤻⤻

_ _

⅓ = 0,3 = 33,3%

⤻⤻

_ _

⅔ = 0,6 = 66,6

All those bars above those digits are what are known as bar notation, indicating that digits repeat.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

The numbers 2/1/3,h,k,7/7/8 firm a geometric progression. find the value of h and of k
taurus [48]

\text{We have }\ 2\dfrac{1}{3},\ h,\ k,\ 7\dfrac{7}{8}.\\\\\text{Convert the mixed numbers to the improper fractions}\\\\2\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{2\cdot3+1}{3}=\dfrac{7}{3}\\\\7\dfrac{7}{8}=\dfrac{7\cdot8+7}{8}=\dfrac{63}{8}\\\\\text{If}\ a_1,\ a_2,\ a_3,\ a_4\ \text{is a geometric seqence, then:}\\\\\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=\dfrac{a_4}{a_3}=r\\\\a_2=a_1r\\\\\text{and}\ \dfrac{a_4}{a_1}=r^3\\\\\text{Substitute:}

r^3=\dfrac{\frac{63}{8}}{\frac{7}{3}}\\\\r^3=\dfrac{63}{8}\cdot\dfrac{3}{7}\\\\r^3=\dfrac{9\cdot3}{8\cdot1}\\\\r^3=\dfrac{27}{8}\to r=\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{27}{8}}\\\\r=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\h=2\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot\dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{7}{3}\cdot\dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{7}{2}\\\\k=\dfrac{7}{2}\cdot\dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{21}{4}\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{h=\dfrac{7}{2}=3\dfrac{1}{2}\ and\ k=\dfrac{21}{4}=5\dfrac{1}{4}}

1*3/5 = 3/5.
3/5(t-6) = -0.4
Distribute 3/5
3/5t - 3.6 = -0.4
Add 3.6 
3/5t = 3.2
Divide by 3/5 
t = 5 1/3 or 5.33
