Answer:

The smaller number is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, set up a proportion where the ratio is a fraction and the new value is with x on the other side.

3/7 = x/35

Now cross multiply to solve.

35 * 3 = 7 * x

105 = 7x

15 = x

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

$x = \frac{4}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Winning Percentage = 0.444 repeating

Required

Represent as a fraction

Represent the percentage with x

$x = 0.444$

Convert to fraction

$x = \frac{444}{1000}$

Next step, is to convert to fraction repeating

To do this, we simply subtract 1 from the denominator

$x = \frac{444}{1000 - 1}$

$x = \frac{444}{999}$

Simplify to the lowest term: Divide numerator and denominator by 37

$x = \frac{444/37}{999/37}$

$x = \frac{12}{27}$

Simplify to the lowest term: Divide numerator and denominator by 3

$x = \frac{12/3}{27/3}$

$x = \frac{4}{9}$

Hence;

There winning fraction is $\frac{4}{9}$
