Answer: The fraction 301/900
Note: I'm assuming the 4's continue on forever

==============================================

Work Shown:

I'm going to assume that the 4s go on forever. I'll represent this with three dots after the last 4 like so
0.334444...

Now let x = 0.334444...

Multiply both sides by 100
x = 0.334444...
100x = 100*(0.334444...)
100x = 33.444444...

And repeat with 1000
x = 0.334444...
1000x = 1000*(0.334444...)
1000x = 334.444444...

Then subtract and solve for x. Notice how the decimal parts line up and cancel
1000x-100x = (334.444444...) - (33.444444...)
1000x-100x = (334+0.444444...) - (33+0.444444...)
1000x-100x = 334+0.444444... - 33 - 0.444444...
1000x-100x = (334-33)+(0.444444... - 0.444444...)
900x = 334 - 33
900x = 301
x = 301/900

How can you show that two objects are proportional with an equation
Zina [86]

A quality control inspector has drawn a sample of 19 light bulbs from a recent production lot. If the number of defective bulbs
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

0.0016283

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Proportion of defective bulbs, p = 30% = 0.3

Sample size, n = 19 bulbs

Probability that the lot will pass inspection :

P(none of the 19 is defective) Or P(only one of the 19 is defective)

P(none of the 19 is defective) = (1 - p) ^n = (1 - 0.3)^19 ; 0.7^19

0.7^19 = 0.0011398

P(only one of the 19 is defective) :

P(1 defective) * P(18 not defective )

(0.3) * (1 - 0.3)^18

0.3 * 0.7^18

0.3 * 0.001628413597910449 = 0.0004885

Hence,

P(none of the 19 is defective) + P(only one of the 19 is defective)

0.0011398 + 0.0004885) = 0.0016283

How many triangles can be formed
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

B. One

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two angles are already given, the value of the third angle is already fixed. The third angle can be found by the sum of both angles subtracted from 180. Since 2 angles and lengths are already given, there can only be 1 triangle.

Hope this helps!

If not, I am sorry.
