<h3>Answers:  </h3><h3>a = 4</h3><h3>b = 11</h3><h3>The fraction is 4/11</h3>

==================================================

Work Shown:

Let x = 0.363636...

The "36" pattern goes on forever as indicated by the three dots.

Multiply both sides by 100 to get 100x = 36.363636...

Effectively, multiplying by 100 moves the decimal point over 2 spots to the right. The "36" goes on forever here too. The key is to match up the infinite sequences of "36"s and cancel them out through subtraction

36.363636... - 0.363636... = 36

while

100x - x = 99x

So after subtracting the equations, we end up with 99x = 36

From here we solve for x by dividing both sides by 99 and reducing the fraction

99x = 36

x = 36/99

x = (9*4)/(9*11)

x = 4/11

As a check, use your calculator to find that

4/11 = 0.36363636...

so the answer is confirmed

Note: your calculator may display something like 0.3636363636364, that 4 should not be there. It's a result of rounding (due to the next digit being a 6). Keep in mind that rounding error is often a possibility when it comes to approximate calculations. The calculator only has so much memory and display space.

Answer:

- 3y² - 7y + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(- 3y + 2)(y + 3)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

- 3y (y + 3) + 2(y + 3) ← distribute both parenthesis

= - 3y² - 9y + 2y + 6 ← collect like terms

= - 3y² - 7y + 6

Use the following cell phone airport data speeds​ (Mbps) from a particular network. Find the percentile corresponding to the dat
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Thus percentile lies between 53.3% and 55.6 %

Step-by-step explanation:

First we arrange the data in ascending order . Then find the number of the values corresponding to the given value. Then equate it with the number of observations and x and then multiply it to get the percentile. n= P/100 *N

where n is the ordinal rank of the given value

N is the number of values in ascending order.

The data in ascending order is

0.1 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.3 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.8 0.8 0.9 1.3

1.5 1.7 1.9 2.2 2.3 2.3 2.6 2.8 3.3 3.5 5.5 6.1 6.4 6.9 7.5 7.9 8.3 9.8 10.1 11.8 11.9 12.1 12.3 12.7 12.9 13.8 13.8 14.6 14.7 14.8 27.5

Number of observation = 45

4.9 lies between 3.3 and 5.5

x*n = 24 observation x*n = 25 observation

x*45= 24 x*45= 25

x= 0.533 x= 0.556

Thus percentile lies between 53.3% and 55.6 %

What is the name of an interior angle of a triangle that is not adjacent to a given exterior of the triangle
d1i1m1o1n [39]
Definition of an exterior angle

At each vertex of a triangle, an exterior angle of the triangle may be formed by extending ONE SIDE of the triangle. See picture below.

Calculating the Angles

We can use equations to represent the measures of the angles described above. One equation might tell us the sum of the angles of the triangle. For example,

x + y + z = 180
