To turn
into a fraction you should do such steps:
1 step. Set up an equation by representing the repeating decimal with a variable. Using your example, you will let x represent the repeating decimal 0.(6), so you have x=0.666... .
2 step. Identify how many digits are in the repeating pattern, or n digits. Multiply both sides of the equation from Step 1 by
to create a new equation. Again, using your example, you see that the repeating pattern consists of just one digit: 6. Now multiply both sides of the equation by
. Thus, you have
or
.
3 step. Subtract the equation in Step 1 from the equation in Step 2. Notice that when we subtract these equations, our repeating pattern drops off. Therefore,
.
4 step. You now have an equation that you can solve for x and simplify as much as possible, using x as a fraction:
. If you divide both sides by 9, you get
. When simplified, you get that
.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 3 red marbles, 3 blue marbles, 6 yellow marbles, 8 black marbles, 4 silver marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
I know these are the correct number of marbles because I set up these numbers as fractions and solved for x.
For examples, 2/16 of the marbles are red. 2/16=x/24
You would do this because we are trying to find the number of marbles that are red out of the 24 marbles.
Next, we would do 24 divided by 16= 1.5 Then 1.5 times 2=3
You would follow this rule for each fraction of marbles in order to find the true number of marbles out of 24.
