What is 2.7 repeating as a fraction?

²⁵/₉

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

We will solve the problem of repeating decimals.

<u>Definition:</u>

A decimal number whose decimal part has digits which repeat endlessly is called a repeating decimal.

For example, \boxed{ \ \frac{4}{33} = 0.121212... \ } is a repeating decimal. The three dots mean the digits in the decimal part repeat infinitely.

Notice that when we carry out the division \boxed{ \ 4 \div 33 \ }, the quotient never ends (or terminates) because zero never appears as a remainder. The block of two digits, 12, keeps appearing and no other digits appear. Often we use a bar (-) to show the block of digits which repeats in a decimal: \boxed{ \ \ 0. \overline{12} = 0.121212... \ \ }

<u>Given:</u>

\boxed{ \ 2.77777... = 2.\overline{7} \ }

<u>Question:</u>

Express it as a fractional form.

<u>Problem Solving:</u>

Let \boxed{ \ x = 2.77777... \ }

Both sides multiplied by 10.

Then \boxed{ \ 10x = 27.77777... \ }

Let us subtract 10x by x. Subtract side by side.

\boxed{ \ 10x = 27.77777... \ }

\ \ \boxed{ \ \ \ \ x = 2.77777.... \ }

-_______________

\boxed{ \ \ \ 9x = 25 \ \ \ }

\boxed{ \ x = \frac{25}{9} \ }

Therefore, the result is \boxed{\boxed{ \ 2.\overline{7} = \frac{25}{9} \ }}

To convert 2.77777777777 to a fraction:
Assume x = 2.7777777777......equation 1

Now, notice that the repeating digit is 7
 multiply both sides of the equation by 10:
10x = 27.7777777777.......equation 2

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2 as follows:
10x - x = 27.7777777777 - 2.7777777777
9x = 25
Therefore x = 25/9

Based on this, 2.7 repeated can be written as a fraction = 25/9

Circle theorem - find p
kow [346]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

the angle in a semicircle = 90° , that is the 3rd angle in the triangle.

the sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180° , then

p + 90° + 42° = 180°

p + 132° = 180° ( subtract 142° from both sides )

p = 48°

Choose a system of equations with the same solution as the following system:
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 6x+2y =-6 ......(1) and 3x-4y=-18 .....(2)

Solving equations (1) and (2) we get

12x+3x =-30, ⇒x= -2 and from equation (1), 2y= -6-6(-2) =6, ⇒ y=3

Therefore, the solution for the given set of equations is x= -2 and y=3

A) Solving the equations 8x+4y = -4 ....... (3)and 17x+2y =-28, we get  

8x -34x = -4 -(-56) =52, ⇒-26x =52, ⇒x=-2 and from equation )(3), we get -16+4y =-4, ⇒ y=3

Therefore, the solution x=-2 and y =3 match with the original solution.

B)Solving the equations 12x + 4y = 12 ....... (4)and 21x + 2y = −36, we get  

12x -42x = 12 -(-72) =84, ⇒-30x =84, ⇒x=-84/30.

Therefore, the solution x=-84/30 does not match with the original solution.

C) Solving the equations 6x + 8y = −36 ....... (4) and 15x + 6y = −60, we get 18x -60x = -108 -(-240) =132, ⇒-42x =132, ⇒x=-132/42

Therefore, the solution x=--3  do not match with the original solution.

D) Solving the equations 6x + y = 15 ....... (5) and 15x − y = −9, we get 6x +15x = 6, ⇒21x =6, ⇒x=2/7  

Therefore, the solution x=2/7  do not match with the original solution.

Therefore, option A) will have the same solution. (Answer)
