How is a rational number converted to its decimal form?

Mathematics

Answer:

Answer to first question is:

You can convert all fractions to decimals. The decimal forms of rational numbers either end or repeat a pattern. If the fraction is a mixed number, change it to an improper fraction. Divide the numerator by the denominator. If the division doesn't come out evenly, round the decimal off.

Answer to second question is: 0.222222

Answer to third question is: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Well the way I think of it is:

3/9 as a fraction is 1/3... so 1 divided by 3 equals 0.333333 repeating. You can even write it as:

0.3 with the fraction bar over it because it keeps repeating.

This goes for 2/9. All you have to do is do 2 divided by 9 and you get 0.222222 repeating. You can even write it as:

0.2 with the fraction bar over it because it keeps repeating.

Hope this helps, have a good day. c;

Police estimate that 25% of drivers drive without their seat belts. If they stop 6 drivers at random, find the probability tha

Furkat [3]

Answer:

17.80% probability that all of them are wearing their seat belts.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each driver stopped, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are wearing their seatbelts, or they are not. The drivers are chosen at random, which mean that the probability of a driver wearing their seatbelts is independent from other drivers. So we use the normal probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Police estimate that 25% of drivers drive without their seat belts.

This means that 75% wear their seatbelts, so $p = 0.75$

If they stop 6 drivers at random, find the probability that all of them are wearing their seat belts.

This is $P(X = 6)$ .

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}.(0.75)^{6}.(0.25)^{0} = 0.1780$

17.80% probability that all of them are wearing their seat belts.

Graph the solution set of: 2x - 4 ≤ 8 and x + 5 ≥ 7

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

x ≤ 6 and x ≥ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For now, we will start with doing each problem at a time. Here is your equation:

2x - 4 ≤ 8

First, you want to get the variable by itself. So, you add 4 to both sides. It will look like this:

2x - 4 ≤ 8

+ 4 + 4

The four being added on the left side cancels out, and you add 4 to 8. Now, it should look like this:

2x ≤ 12

Next, you want the x by itself. So, you would divide both sides by 2.

2x ≤ 12

/2 /2

2 divided by 2 cancels out, and 12 divided by 2 equals 6. Now, you have a final answer of:

x ≤ 6

But, you now have to do the other one!

Here is what you start off with:

x + 5 ≥ 7

First, you want the variable side by itself. So, you subtract 5 from both sides.

x + 5 ≥ 7

- 5 -5

Now, you have this:

x ≥ 2

Because the variable is already by itself, you don't need to do any more division and this is you final answer. Now put both answers you got together which equals:

x ≤ 6 and x ≥ 2
