Answer:

1/2, 0.55, 5/7 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Change each into decimal

1/2 = 0.50

0.55 = 0.55

5/7 = ~0.71

0.50 < 0.55 < 0.71

You would have to be 30 because multiples of 5 would only be 25 and 30 inbetween those numbers, and 25 is not an even number which it must be if you can say the number counting by 2s

What is 0.66666666666 as a fraction

stellarik [79]

To turn $0.(6)=0.6666...$ into a fraction you should do such steps:

1 step. Set up an equation by representing the repeating decimal with a variable. Using your example, you will let x represent the repeating decimal 0.(6), so you have x=0.666... .

2 step. Identify how many digits are in the repeating pattern, or n digits. Multiply both sides of the equation from Step 1 by $10^n$ to create a new equation. Again, using your example, you see that the repeating pattern consists of just one digit: 6. Now multiply both sides of the equation by $10^1 = 10$ . Thus, you have $10x = 10 \cdot 0.666...$ or $10x = 6.666....$ .

3 step. Subtract the equation in Step 1 from the equation in Step 2. Notice that when we subtract these equations, our repeating pattern drops off. Therefore, $10x-x=6.666...-0.666...\\ 9x=6$ .

4 step. You now have an equation that you can solve for x and simplify as much as possible, using x as a fraction: $9x = 6$ . If you divide both sides by 9, you get $x=\dfrac{6}{9}$ . When simplified, you get that $x=\dfrac{2}{3}$ .
