Answer:

24 candies originally

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the 4 to how many you had left, then think about that number, 16, and what goes into 16 evenly 2 times? 8 and originally she gave away 1/3 of the box and if you were to add another 8 to the box it would be 24 divided by 1/3, -,-4,= 12.

You have $60 and your sister has $120. You are saving $14 per week and your sister is saving $10 per week. How long will it be b
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

15 weeks

The amount of money is  270

Step-by-step explanation:

You: 60 +14x

Sister: 120+10x

Set them equal to each other

60+14x = 120+10x

Subtract 10x from each side

60+4x= 120

Subtract 60 from each side

4x= 60

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 60/4

x = 15

15 weeks

The amount of money is 120+10*15 = 120+150 = 270

Whats the answer to that question?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

-0.9090... can be written as \frac{10}{11}.

Explanation:

Any <em>repeating </em>decimal can be written as a fraction by dividing the section of the pattern to be repeated <em>by </em>9's.

We can start by listing out

0.909090... = 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + 9/100000 + 0/1000000 + ...

Now. we let this series be equal to x, that is

x = 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + 9/100000 + 0/1000000 + ...

Now, we'll multiply both sides by 100 .

100x = 90 + 0 + 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + ...

Then, subtract the 1st equation from the second like so:

100x = 90 + 0 + 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + 9/100000 + 0/1000000 + ...

-x = - 9/10 - 0/100 - 9/1000 - 0/10000 - 9/100000 - 0/1000000 - ...

And we end up with this:

99x=90

Finally, we divide both sides by 99 in order to isolate x and get the fraction we're looking for.

x=\frac{90}{99}

Which can be reduced and simplified to

x=\frac{10}{11}

Hope this helps!
