Answer:

The decimal equivalent of 34/5 is 6.8. It is a terminating decimal.

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction will have a terminating decimal representation if its denominator is some product of powers of 2 and powers of 5. Here, the denominator is 5, so the decimal fraction will terminate.

34/5 = 68/10 = 6.8 . . . . . this is a terminating decimal value

_____

If the denominator has any other factor (other than 2 or 5), the decimal representation will repeat. The length of the repeat may be up to n-1 digits, where n is the factor of the denominator that remains after powers of 2 and 5 have been removed. For example, the decimal representation of 1/7 has a 6-digit repeat; 1/19 has an 18-digit repeating decimal representation.

6. Jessie sorted the coins in her bank. Shemade 7 stacks of 6 dimes and 8 stacksof 5 nickels. She then found 1 dime and1 nickel.

Leokris [45]

Lets write down the information that we know.

Jessie has 7 stacks of 6 dimes, so Jessie has a total of 6*7 dimes

Dimes=7*6=42dimes

Jessie has 42 dimes, but then she found another one so lets add one more dime.

42+1=43 dimes

Jessie has 8 stacks of 5 nickels, so Jessie has 8*5 nickels

Nickels=8*5=40nickels

Jessie has 40 nickels, but then she found another one so lets add 1 to the total number of nickels.

40+1=41nickels

Now we can answer the question.

How many dimes and nickels does jessie have in all?

nickels+dimes=
41+43=84 coins

Jessie has 84 coins in total

Answer:

3.5 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

$Area \: of \: both \: squares \\ = {2}^{2} + {3}^{2} \\ = 4 + 9 \\ = 13 \: {cm}^{2} \\ \\ Area \: of \: both \: right \: \triangle s \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times (2 + 3) \times 2 + \frac{1}{2} \times3 \times 3 \\ = 5 \times 1+ 1.5 \times 3 \\ = 5 + 4.5 \\ = 9.5 \: {cm}^{2} \\ \\ Area \: of \:shaded \: region \\ = Area \: of \: both \: squares\\ - Area \: of \: both \: right \: \triangle s \\ = 13 - 9.5 \\ \purple { \boxed{ \bold{Area \: of \:shaded \: region = 3.5 \: {cm}^{2} }}}$
