5 + 0.33333...
<span>If you don't immediately recognize 0.33333.... as 1/3 (a very common fraction you should memorize), you can do the following. </span>
<span>x = 0.33333... </span>
<span>Multiply that by 10 to shift everything 1 place to the left: </span>
<span>10x = 3.33333... </span>
<span>Now subtract: </span>
<span>10x - x = 3.33333... - 0.33333... </span>
<span>9x = 3 </span>
<span>x = 3/9 </span>
<span>x = 1/3 </span>
<span>Answer: </span>
<span>5 1/3 </span>
<span>P.S. Here's a shortcut way to turn a repeating decimal into a fraction. </span>
<span>1) Take the repeated part and put it over an equivalent number of nines. </span>
<span>Example: </span>
<span>0.57575757... = 57/99 </span>
<span>At that point, see if you can reduce the fraction: </span>
<span>= 19/33 </span>
<span>Another example: </span>
<span>0.123123123... = 123/999 </span>
<span>= 41/333 </span>
<span>So in your example: </span>
<span>5.33333... = 5 + 0.33333... </span>
<span>= 5 + 3/9 </span>
<span>= 5 1/3</span>
3/1200= 1/400=0.0025 chance of getting pulled, so unlikely
Answer:
Explanation:
Here, we want to find the bigger solution
We can start by factoring x as follows:
The bigger solution is x= 11
<span>Which number has a repeating decimal form?
</span><span>a) square root of 15
b)11/25
c)3/20
d)2/6
The correct answer is </span>d)2/6
Since, once solved, the value would give, 0.33333333333333333333333333333333
