Parking in a student lot costs $2 for the first half hour and $1.75 for each hour thereafter. A partial hour is charged the same

Masteriza [31]

An easier way to think of this problem is just keep adding for each additional hour:

0.5 hours --> $2

1.5 hrs --> $3.75

2.5 hrs --> $5.50

3.5 hrs --> $7.25

and since you can only spend $7, the maximum time is 2.5 hours

Prove algebraically that 0.5 recurring = 5/9

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We require 2 equations with the recurring part after the decimal point.

Let x = 0.555..... → (1)

Multiply both sides by 10, then

10x = 5.555..... → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the recurring decimal

(10x - x) = (5.5555 - 0.5555 ), that is

9x = 5 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = $\frac{5}{9}$
