22/7 = 3.142857...

Let's see if we can beat this using a fraction with 113 as its denominator.

-------

3 x 120 = 360

-------

So, let's try out x = 360:

360/113 = 3.185.... (Too high)

How about x=350:

350/113 = 3.097... (Too low)

Let's try out x = 355:

355/113 = 3.14159292 (Calculator value)

--------

Let's now compare 22/7 and 355/113 to pi:

22/7 = 3.142857...

355/113 = 3.14159292 (Calculator value)

π = 3.141592654

-------

As we can see, 355/113 provides us with a better approximation of π. This means that x=355.

As it appears to be the same thing on both sides so far wouldn't you think that it's 8?

Write this expression so that its denominator, if any, is a positive integer.<br> 2/(3+sqrt(7))

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The Answer is 3 - sqrt7

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 + sqrt7 the starting equation

You multiply it by the conjugate which is 3 - sqrt7

= 2(3 - sqrt7) / (3 + sqrt7) (3 - sqrt7) the equation after you multiply by 3 - sqrt7

(3 + sqrt7) (3 - sqrt7) = 2

= 2(3 - sqrt7) / 2 the equation after you simplify (3 + sqrt7) (3 - sqrt7)

Divide out the 2's

= 3 - sqrt7/1 the equation after you divide out the 2's

= 3 - sqrt7 is THE ANSWER

Solve 9/10=z/8 . Round to the nearest tenth.

kompoz [17]

$\boxed {Question}$
$\frac{9}{10} = \frac{z}{8}$

$\boxed {Cross \ multiply}$
$10z = 8 \times 9$

$\boxed {Evaluate}$
$10z = 72$
$z = 72 \div 10$
$z = 7.2$

$\Longrightarrow \bf \ Answer \ : \ z = 7.2$
