The decimal expansion of 0.31717 is an infinite number with the 17 repeating.

Let the given decimal = X, so we have X = 0.31717 ( 1st equation)

Multiply both sides by 100 to get:
100x = 31.717 ( 2nd equation)

Subtract the 1st equation from the 2nd equation:

100x = 31.1717 - x = 0.31717 = 99x = 31.4

Divide both sides by 99:
X = 31.4 / 99

Multiply both numbers by 10 to remove the decimal point:
X = 314 / 990

Divide both numbers by 2 to get the final answer of 157 / 495

The answer is B.

Step 3: 2x > 10 Step 4: x > 5 What property justifies the work between step 3 and step 4? A. division property of inequali
BigorU [14]

Answer:

A. Division property of inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be 2\cdot x > 10, we proceed to show the appropriate procedure to step 4:

1) 2\cdot x >10 Given

2) x > 5 Compatibility with multiplication/Existence of multiplicative inverse/Associative property/Modulative property/Result. (Division property of inequality)

In consequence, the division property of inequality which states that:

\forall\, a, b, c \in \mathbb{R}. If c > 0, then:

a> b\,\longrightarrow a\cdot c > b\cdot c \,\lor\, a

But if c < 0, then:

a> b\,\longrightarrow a\cdot c < b\cdot c \,\lor\, a b\cdot c

Hence, correct answer is A.
