Step-by-step explanation:
We require 2 equations with the recurring part after the decimal point.
Let x = 0.555..... → (1)
Multiply both sides by 10, then
10x = 5.555..... → (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the recurring decimal
(10x - x) = (5.5555 - 0.5555 ), that is
9x = 5 ( divide both sides by 9 )
x =
Alright, lets get started.
Maria hiked the 5 mile Mountain Trail a number of times and she hiked the 10 mile canal trail several times.
x times she hiked 5 mile mountain.
So, number of mils she hiked for 5 miles will be = 5 x
Similarly,
y times she hiked 10 mile canal,
So, number of miles she hiked for canal = 10 y
So, total number of miles she hiked =
But as per question given, she had a total of 90 miles
It means
Dividing this equation with 5
So, the equation is : Answer
