2.125 = 17/8 = 21/8 as a fraction
Step by Step Solution
To convert the decimal 2.125 to a fraction follow these steps:
Step 1: Write down the number as a fraction of one:
2.125 = 2.125/1
Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:
As we have 3 numbers after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 1000. So,
2.125/1 = (2.125 x 1000)/(1 x 1000) = 2125/1000.
Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD(2125,1000) = 125. So,
(2125÷125)/(1000÷125) = 17/8 when reduced to the simplest form.
As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 2125/1000 is also equal to 2 1/8 when expressed as a mixed number.
Hope that helps feel free to ask me questions

We don't know what the question is.
It could be "What is the selling price ?"
If that's the question, then . . .
Since the store marks up their cost by 60% before they sell
the thing, the price they sell it for is
(1.60 of their cost).
You know their cost. The selling price is (1.60 x $80) .
I can help explain it if you PM me.
The answer is B.
Whatever the x value is you have to add 9 to it.
8
This is actually fairly simple. If you take the x-1 and set it equal to 0 you get 1. And if you plug that value into the x you get 8, which is the remainder. This is called the remainder value theorem.
