<span>We prove first the direct implication. Assume n is even. Then n = 2k for some integer k. Then 7n + 4 = 14k + 4 = 2(7k + 2), which is even. For the converse, which is “if 7n + 4 is even, then n is even”, we use a proof by contrapositive. The contrapositive is: “if n is not even (that is, odd), then 7n + 4 is not even (that is, odd) If n is odd, then n = 2k + 1, for some integer k. Then 7n + 4 = 14k + 11 = 2(7k + 5) + 1, which is odd.</span>

How to convert 3.248 repeating decimal with 48 repeating into a simplified fraction
Sonja [21]

Answer:

x=\frac{536}{165}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the value of 3.2484848.... infinite times

Multiply by 100

x=3.24848....\\100x = 324.8484.....

Subtract to get

100x-x = 324.8484...-3.248484....\\99x = 321.60\\x=\frac{321.6}{99} \\x=\frac{1072}{330} \\x=\frac{536}{165}

Thus the number 3.248 repeating decimal with 48 repeating in fraction form is

\frac{536}{165}
