It is helpful to write them in different ways
some ways to write them are
1.fractions
2.decimals
3.squareroots (if applicable)
so it would be more helpful in an equation to leave 6/7 in fractional form if you are going to manipulate it more, because 0.857142857142... is much harder to keep track of than 6/7
and sometimes, they want a percent which is easier to convert to from decimal form than from fractinoal form so ex 0.857142857142...=85.7% vs 6/7 to percent
sometimes there will be square roots and they are easier if left like that ex
√2=1.4142135623...
it would be easier to leav it in square root
it depends on the equation you are trying to solve, because different forms have different pros and cons, some are easier to work with in a certain form but not in another, sometimes, you will need to change between multipule forms during the same problem
Reduce the expression, if possible, by cancelling the common factors.
Exact form:
15/7
Decimal form:
2.142857 repeating
Mixed number form:
2 1/7
If you help me with my last question I will help you with this one
Answer:
R = 8,228,571.43 (Approx)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
R = x²/y
x = 4.8 x 10⁵
y = 2.8 x 10⁴
Find:
Value of R
Computation:
R = x²/y
R = (4.8 x 10⁵)²/ (2.8 x 10⁴)
R = 23.04 x 10¹⁰ / (2.8 x 10⁴)
R = 8.22857.. x 10⁶
R = 8,228,571.43 (Approx)
Answer:
The last option is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
A translation of 2 units down takes S to the point (1, -1). Then a counterclockwise rotation about the origin takes S to the point (-1, -1) where we have S' .
