5 + 0.33333... 

<span>If you don't immediately recognize 0.33333.... as 1/3 (a very common fraction you should memorize), you can do the following. </span>

<span>x = 0.33333... </span>

<span>Multiply that by 10 to shift everything 1 place to the left: </span>
<span>10x = 3.33333... </span>

<span>Now subtract: </span>
<span>10x - x = 3.33333... - 0.33333... </span>
<span>9x = 3 </span>
<span>x = 3/9 </span>
<span>x = 1/3 </span>

<span>Answer: </span>
<span>5 1/3 </span>

<span>P.S. Here's a shortcut way to turn a repeating decimal into a fraction. </span>

<span>1) Take the repeated part and put it over an equivalent number of nines. </span>

<span>Example: </span>
<span>0.57575757... = 57/99 </span>

<span>At that point, see if you can reduce the fraction: </span>
<span>= 19/33 </span>

<span>Another example: </span>
<span>0.123123123... = 123/999 </span>
<span>= 41/333 </span>

<span>So in your example: </span>
<span>5.33333... = 5 + 0.33333... </span>
<span>= 5 + 3/9 </span>
<span>= 5 1/3</span>

!!please help asap!! How does writing an equation help you solve problems with percentages?​
Phantasy [73]
Percent problems can be solved by writing equations. An equation uses an equal sign (= ) to show that two mathematical expressions have the same value. Percents are fractions, and just like fractions, when finding a percent (or fraction, or portion) of another amount, you multiply. ... Percent of the Base is the Amount.

A box is to be constructed with a rectangular base and a height of 5 cm. If the rectangular base must have a perimeter of 28 cm,
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

V = (5)(14 L - L^2) cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dimensions of the rectangular base be W by L and the height be H.

The perimeter must be 28 cm, so 28 cm = 2(W) + 2(L).  This reduces to

14 cm = W + L, which can be solved for either W or L.  Solving for W:  

W = 14 cm - L

Then the area of the rectangular base is A = W*L, or A = (14 cm - L)(L), or

A = 14L - L^2.

The volume of the box is then V = A*H.  

Because H = 5 cm, the volume is V = (5 cm)A, or

                                                        V = (5 cm)(14L - L^2) cm^2

This is a quadratic equation.  Putting it into standard form yields:

V = (5)(14 L - L^2) cm^3.  This is the desired quadratic formula.
