Write the following number as ratios of integers

Mathematics

s2008m [1.1K]3 years ago
7 0

Our goal here is to somehow "surgically remove" the repeating part of the number, so let's start by putting the original value in a variable and messing around with it a bit.

We'll let x=7.\overline{6}. We want to cut the 0.\overline{6} bit off completely, so let's create the scalpel that'll let us do that. If x=7.\overline{6}, then we can also say that 10x=76.\overline{6}. Maybe I was lying a bit: the x is our real scalpel here, and 10x is where we'll be making the cut. Mathematically, a "cut" is almost always shorthand for subtraction, so let's see what our operation (cutting x off of 10x) leaves us with:

10x-x=76.\overline{6}-7.\overline{6}\\9x=69

The operation was a success! We can now simply divide either side by 9 to find x = 69/9, which, when reduced by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3, gives us x=23/3

Answer:

3.75 L

Step-by-step explanation:

3 liters / 36 m^2 = x liters / 9 x 5 m^2

3 liters / 36 m^2 = x liters / 45 m^2

(45)(3) = (x)(36)

(135) = (x)(36)

x = (135)/(36)

x= 3.75 L
