Answer:

Shannon would need to buy 5 packs of strawberry gum, and 6 packs of blueberry gum, for 30 pieces of each type of gum, and a total of 60 pieces of gum.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, identify what you know:

1) One pack of strawberry gum has 6 individual pieces of gum.

2) One pack of blueberry gum has 5 individual pieces of gum.

What is the smallest number of packs that Shannon will need to buy, to have the same number of individual pieces for each type of gum?

Basically, we need to find the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of 6 and 5! The LCM of two or more numbers, means the the lowest quantity of all the numbers. So, what is the lowest number that is devisable by 6 and 5?

6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54

5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45

Look at the multiples of 6 and 5. Is there any that both share? They both can be multiplied to equal 30!

6 x 5 = 30

5 x 6 = 30

So, basically, you would need 6 packs of blueberry gum, and 5 packs of strawberry gum!

Hope this helps! :)

Express 0.361 recurring as a fraction.<br> (only the 61 recurs)
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

  179/495

Step-by-step explanation:

When the repeating decimal starts at the decimal point, the repeating digits can be turned into a fraction by putting them over the same number of 9s. That is, 0.61616161... is equivalent to 61/99.

Here, the repeating part is 1/10 that value, so is 61/990. This is added to the non-repeating part, which is 0.3 = 3/10.

Then the entire decimal is ...

  0.361_61 = 3/10 + 61/990 = (297 +61)/990 = 358/990 = 179/495
