The three dots after the 777 indicate that the pattern repeats forever. Specifically the 7s go on forever (the 1 does not repeat and its only listed one time)

Let
x = 0.1777...
The goal is to find the value of x in terms of a fraction of whole numbers (eg like 2/3 or 4/5)

The trick is to somehow get the decimal portion that goes on forever to go away. We will do this through subtraction. But first, we need to do a bit of side work.

Multiply both sides of the equation above by 10
x = 0.1777...
10*x = 10*0.1777...
10x = 1.777...
Notice how this moves the decimal over 1 spot to the right

Then go back to the original equation for x and multiply both sides by 100
x = 0.1777...
100*x = 100*0.1777...
100x = 17.777...
Now the decimal is moved over two spots to the right

-----------------------------------

In summary so far, we have 
10x = 1.777...
100x = 17.777...

If we subtract 100x - 10x then we'll have

100x - 10x = (17.777...) - (1.777...)
90x = 16

The decimal portion 777... cancels out when we subtract. This is because the terms line up perfectly and subtract to 0

The last few steps is to solve 90x = 16 for x. We divide both sides by 90 and then reduce as much as possible

90x = 16
90x/90 = 16/90
x = 16/90
x = 8/45

Therefore the final answer is the fraction 8/45

I recommend you use a calculator to confirm that 8/45 will have the decimal form of 0.1777...

Note: your calculator may round the last digit from 7 to an 8

Elena has a washing machine with a 20 gallon capacity. She always uses a 20 gram measure of soap for every 10 gallons of water.
baherus [9]

Answer:

For \[20\] minutes Elena add water to correct the error.

Step-by-step explanation:

The capacity of the washing machine is \[20\] gallons.

She uses \[20\] gram soap for \[10\] gallon of water

Her son by mistake dissolved \[60\] grams of soap to \[10\] gallons of water.

\[60\]-gram soap is right for \[30\] gallons of water, thus \[20\] gallon of water must be added more.

She pore water \[2\] gallons per minute thus, \[20\] gallons of water will take\[10\]minutes.

Points b d and f are midpoints of ten sides of ace ec=44 df=25 find ac
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The length of AC is;

C. 50

Step-by-step explanation:

By the midpoint of a triangle theorem, we have that a segment that spans across and intersects with the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is equal to half the length of the third side and parallel to the length of the third side

The given parameters are;

The midpoints of ΔACE are B, D, and F

The length of EC = 44

The length of DF = 25

Therefore, we have;

Given that DF is a midsegment of triangle ΔACE, then DF ║ AC and

the length of DF = (1/2) × AC the length of AC

∴ The length of AC = 2 × The length of DF

The length of DF = 25

∴ The length of AC = 2 × 25 = 50

The length of AC = 50
