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.

Answer:

f(-6) = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

plug in k value (-6)

f(-6) = -6/2 + 1

theres two ways to solve for this

one way:

convert the whole number 1 to an improper fraction

f(-6) = -6/2 + 2/2

combine like terms

f(-6) = -4/2

divide -4 by 2

f(-6) = -2

second way:

divide -6 by 2

f(-6) = -3 + 1

combine like terms

f(-6) = -2

either way you get the same answer

use whichever is easiest for you

I don't really understand it's due soon can someone please help me​

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 1/2a + 2/3b =50

(Since b is equal to 30 we will automatically replace b with 30)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

1/2a+20=50

Step 2: Subtract 20 from both sides.

1/2a=50-20

1/2a=30

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 2.

2(1/2a) 2(30)

a=60

Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to give my answer a "Thanks" and maybe a Brainliest if it's correct?

The product of a rational and irrational number is rational. always sometimes never
V125BC [204]

Answer:

"The product of a rational number and an irrational number is SOMETIMES irrational." If you multiply any irrational number by the rational number zero, the result will be zero, which is rational. Any other situation, however, of a rational times an irrational will be irrational.
