To turn
into a fraction you should do such steps:
1 step. Set up an equation by representing the repeating decimal with a variable. Using your example, you will let x represent the repeating decimal 0.(6), so you have x=0.666... .
2 step. Identify how many digits are in the repeating pattern, or n digits. Multiply both sides of the equation from Step 1 by
to create a new equation. Again, using your example, you see that the repeating pattern consists of just one digit: 6. Now multiply both sides of the equation by
. Thus, you have
or
.
3 step. Subtract the equation in Step 1 from the equation in Step 2. Notice that when we subtract these equations, our repeating pattern drops off. Therefore,
.
4 step. You now have an equation that you can solve for x and simplify as much as possible, using x as a fraction:
. If you divide both sides by 9, you get
. When simplified, you get that
.

Hello,
<u>Set up a proportion</u> :
7 → 21
100 → ?
<u>Cross multiply</u> :
100 * 21 / 7 = 300 students

Answer:
Both plans would cost $100 if 6 gigabytes of data are used.
Explanation:
From the question, the system of equation are correctly represented by using small letter c to represent the total cost in dollars for both equations as already assumed in the question as follows:
c = 52 + 8d ........................... (1)
c = 82 + 3d ........................... (2)
Since c is common to both, equations (1) and (2) can therefore be equated and d solved for as follows:
52 + 8d = 82 + 3d
8d - 3d = 82 - 52
5d = 30
d = 30 / 5
d = 6
Substituting d = 6 into equation (1), we have:
c = 52 + (8 * 6)
c = 52 + 48
c = 100
Since d = 6 and c = 100, it therefore implies that both plans would cost $100 if 6 gigabytes of data are used.
1/2 ( -3/2 + 6x + 1) - 3x
Simplify:
= 1/2 (-1/2 + 6x) - 3x
Apply distributive property:
= -1/4 + 3x -3 x
Simplify:
= -1/4
so since only 3 out of 11 went to visit then it is simple
since just 3 went and there were 11
3/11 of the students went
