Which simplified fraction is equal to 0.17...?

2 answers:

8 0

9/17 = .529411...
8/45 = .17777 (the seven repeats)
17/9 = 1.8888 (the eight repeats)
16/90 = .17777 (the seven repeats)

While B and D both equal approximately 1.7. B is the simplified form, So B is the answer

Brainliest would be fantastic :) Have a nice day.

Hi there!

In order to find the simplified fraction that equals to 0.17, we need to take all the options given and start dividing them until we find the one that equals to 0.17

So, let's get started....

A) 9/17 = 0.52 So this NOT the answer
B) 8/45 = 0.17 This is the answer
C) 17/9 = 1.88
D) 16/90 = 8/45 = 0.17
Here is where the trick is. You see that B and D has the same final answer. Well, they ask for the simplified fraction. D or 16/90 was not simplified until we simplified it. But the others were already simplified. So, that's why we eliminated D.

So, the correct answer is option B

Good luck!

Assume that the U.S. PPF measures oil and gas production on the x-axis and production of other goods and services on the y-axi

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The U.S. PPF rotates outward (abticlockwisely), increasing the x-axis intercept with no change in the y-axis intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Fracking is a method of improving production capabilities on oil and gas production. Although, it usually leads to environmental pollution later, it does bring in higher yields of oil and gas.

If the oil and gas production on the x-axis increases without a simultaneous, almost equal increase in production of other goods and services (on the y-axis), the data points for the x-axis shift more to the right and the PPF rotates more anti-clockwisely outward, thereby increasing the intercept on the now improved x-axis and not too much change on the intercept of the y-axis.

I'm pretty sure it would be none of these because1/4*5=1 and 1/4 then it would be 6 and 1/4 then it would be 31 and 1/4
