Which simplified fraction is equal to 0.17...?

2 answers:

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!

5/6w+21=-1/3(2w-9).

oksian1 [2.3K]

I believe this question logically tells us to find the value of w. The two equations are already equated. Since there is 1 unknown and 1 equation, the system is solvable. The solution is as follows:

5/(6w+21) = -1/3(2w - 9)
5/(6w+21) = -1/(6w - 27)
Cross multiplying the terms:
5(6w - 27) = -1(6w +21)
30w - 135 = -6w - 21
30w + 6w = -21 + 135 = 114
36w = 114
w = 114/36
w = 19/6 or 3.167

If g (x) = 1/x^2 then g (x+h) - g (x)/h

$\bf g(x)=\cfrac{1}{x^2}~\hspace{5em}\cfrac{g(x+h)-g(x)}{h}\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{(x+h)^2}-\frac{1}{x^2}}{h} \\\\\\ \textit{using the LCD of }(x+h)^2(x^2)\qquad \cfrac{\frac{x^2-(x+h)^2}{(x+h)^2(x^2)}}{h}\implies \cfrac{x^2-(x+h)^2}{h(x+h)^2(x^2)} \\\\\\ \cfrac{x^2-(x^2+2xh+h^2)}{h(x+h)^2(x^2)}\implies \cfrac{\underline{x^2-x^2}-2xh-h^2}{h(x+h)^2(x^2)}\implies \cfrac{-2xh-h^2}{h(x+h)^2(x^2)}$

$\bf \cfrac{\underline{h}(-2x-h)}{\underline{h}(x+h)^2(x^2)}\implies \cfrac{-2x-h}{(x+h)^2(x^2)}\implies \cfrac{-2x-h}{(x^2+2xh+h^2)(x^2)} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill \cfrac{-2x-h}{x^4+2x^3h+x^2h^2}~\hfill$

The question is in the pic!

stich3 [128]

A. Isn't the answer because 9 can't go into 60

B. This is your answer 45 inches

C. and D. can't be the answer because 15 can't go into 50 or 36

15 * 3 = 45

9 * 5 = 45

I hope this helps you out, I had taken me a while to figure out what it was asking. ^-^
