Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call our fraction x.

x=5.2727272727......

We want to get rid of the repeating decimals. If we multiply our fraction by 100, we have that 100x=527.27272727.....

100x=527.2727272727....

x=5.27272727....

If we subtract these equations, the repeating stuff will be gone and we can solve for x.

99x=522

We divide both sides by 99.

x=522/99= 58/11= 5 3/11.

Have a wonderful day! :D

A jar contains 30 red, 30 blue, and 60

kiruha [24]

The probability of picking red button is $\frac{1}{4}$

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, A jar contains 30 red, 30 blue, and 60 white buttons.

You pick one button at a random choice,

We have to find the probability that it is red button.

Now, total number of buttons = 30 + 30 + 60 = 120 buttons.

Number of favourable cases for red button = 30 red buttons.

The probability of an event is given as:

$\text { probability of a event }=\frac{\text { favourable ways to pick red }}{\text { total possiblities }}$

$=\frac{30}{120}=\frac{1}{4}$

Thus the probability that it is red is $\frac{1}{4}$
