Hi,
a)let 0.24 be x.
100x(two zeros because two decimals are repeating)=24.24<span> ̅(24 is repeating)
Now subtract 100x-x on both sides. This forms an equation.
100x-x=24.24(.24 is repeating) -0.24(.24 is repeating)
99x=24
x=24/99
simplest form=8/33
b)Follow the same rule.
let 0.24(4 is repeating) be x
Since there is two decimals in total , 100x=24.44(4 is repeating)
But since there is one decimal that is repeating, there will be one zero. Hence  it will become 100x-10x= 24.4(4 is repeating)-2.4(4 is repeating and get the decimal point closest to the repeating decimal)</span>
90x=22
x=22/90
Simplest form=11/45
c) 0.24 is expressed as 8/25
0.24/1
24/100(make it a whole number and add no. of zeros based on how many decimals places you move.)
Simplest form=6/25
Hope this helps you.

On Friday, you raked leaves for 4 neighbors, on saturay you raked leaves for 5 neighbors, and on Sunday you raked leaves for 3 n
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The amount paid by each house is $11.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount paid by each house is $K

Number of neighbors you worked for on Friday = 4

So the amount paid by all of them = 4K

Number of neighbors you worked for on Saturday = 5,

similarly amount paid = 5K

Number of neighbors you worked for on Sunday = 3,

here amount paid = 3K

Also, in total the amount paid = $135

So, Amount paid on {Friday + Saturday +Sunday} = Total Amount

or, 5K + 4K + 3K = $135

or, 12K = 135

⇒K =135/12 = $11.25

So, the amount paid by each house is $11.25

In how many distinct ways can the letters of the word mathematics be arranged? (first, does the order matter?)
TEA [102]
Our current list has 11!/2!11!/2! arrangements which we must divide into equivalence classes just as before, only this time the classes contain arrangements where only the two As are arranged, following this logic requires us to divide by arrangement of the 2 As giving (11!/2!)/2!=11!/(2!2)(11!/2!)/2!=11!/(2!2).

Repeating the process one last time for equivalence classes for arrangements of only T's leads us to divide the list once again by 2
