You are given a fraction in simplest form. The possible denominators are 3, 6, 7, 9

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that, You are given a fraction in simplest form.

The numerator is not zero. When you write the fraction as a decimal, it is a repeating decimal.

We have to find which numbers from 1 to 10 could be the denominator

Now, let us check each number by considering the numerator as 1

Then,  

1 \rightarrow \frac{1}{1}=1 ⇒ non repeating

2 \rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=0.5 ⇒ non repeating

3 \rightarrow \frac{1}{3}=0.333333333333 ⇒ repeating

4 \rightarrow \frac{1}{4}=0.25 ⇒ non repeating

5 \rightarrow \frac{1}{5}=0.2 ⇒ non repeating

6 \rightarrow \frac{1}{6}=0.1666666666666 ⇒ repeating

7 \rightarrow \frac{1}{7}=0.1428571428571 ⇒ repeating

8 \rightarrow \frac{1}{8}=0.125 ⇒ non repeating

9 \rightarrow \frac{1}{9}=0.11111111111111 ⇒ repeating

10 \rightarrow \frac{1}{10}=0.1 ⇒ non repeating

If we want to test with any other numerator. Suppose 5, then numerator is 5 x 1, which means 5 divided by denominator equals with 5 x 1 divided by denominator. So its again product of the numerator we want and above values, then, non repeating stays non repeating and repeating stays repeating.

Hence, the possible denominators are 3, 6, 7, 9

Jordan is a student who hates to be called on in class. His teacher randomly calls on students and Jordan knows that on any give
Anika [276]

Answer:

0.1 for each case

Step-by-step explanation:

Because Jordan's teacher randomly calls on students and Jordan has 10% chance of being called on any given day, the probability that on the first day Jordan is called on is 0.1 Besides, the probability remains constant on any given day, so, the probability  that on the 2nd day Jordan is called on is 0.1 and for the 5th day is the same 0.1 Probability is always a number between 0 and 1.

Find the length of the missing side
inn [45]
<h3>Answer:  9</h3>

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

Work Shown:

a = unknown  = leg #1

b = 12  = leg #2

c = 15 = hypotenuse

Plug those values into the pythagorean theorem and solve for 'a'

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + (12)^2 = (15)^2  .... substitution

a^2 + 144 = 225

a^2 = 225 - 144  ... subtracting 144 from both sides

a^2 = 81

a = sqrt(81)  .... applying square root to both sides

a = 9
