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.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

<em>The bee traveled 11.7 meters.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

A bee flew 840 cm first to land on a flower to collect some pollen and then flew another 330 cm to get back to her hive.

For <u>finding the total distance traveled, we need to just add</u> 840 cm and 330 cm.

So, $(840+330) cm = 1170 cm$

We know that, 1 meter = 100 cm. That means, <u>for converting 'cm' into 'meter' , we need to divide by 100</u>.

Thus, $1170 cm= \frac{1170}{100} meter = 11.7 meter$

So, the bee traveled 11.7 meters.
