What is 04.151515... into a fraction

Answer:

\displaystyle 4.\overline{15} = \frac{137}{33}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by separating this decimal number into its integer part and its fraction part:

4.151515\cdots = 4 + 0.151515\cdots

The most challenging task here is to express 0.151515\cdots as a proper fraction. Once that fraction is found, expressing the original number 4.151515\cdots will be as simple as rewriting a mixed number as an improper fraction.

Let x = 0.151515\cdots. (x + 4) would then represent the original number.

Note that the repeating digits appear in groups of two. Therefore, if the digits in x are shifted to the left by two places, the repeating part will continue to match:

\begin{aligned}x = 0.&151515\cdots && \\ 100\, x = 15.& 151515\cdots \end{aligned}.

Note, that this "shifting" is as simple as multiplying the initial number by 100 (same as 10 raised to the power of the number of digits that needs to be shifted.)

Subtract the original number from the shifted number to eliminate the fraction part completely:

\begin{aligned}&(100\, x) - x \\ &= 15.151515\cdots\\  & \phantom{=}- 0.151515\cdots\\&=15 \end{aligned}.

In other words:

99\, x = 15.

\displaystyle x = \frac{15}{99} = \frac{5}{33}.

Therefore, the original number would be:

\displaystyle x + 4 = \frac{5}{33} = \frac{132 + 5}{33} = \frac{137}{33}.

1) $375
500 *.25= 125
500-125= 375

2) (5/8)* 32= 20 girls in class
(3/8)* 32= 12 BOYS in class

4) 19+42+X=87
62+X= 87 (add 19 and 42 together )
X=25 ( subtract 87 from 62)

Suppose p(a) = 0.40 and p(a 

Between the probability of union and intersection, it's not clear what you're supposed to compute. (I would guess it's the probability of union.) But we do know that

P(A\cup B)+P(A\cap B)=P(A)+P(B)


For parts (a) and (b), you're given everything you need to determine P(B).

For part (c), if A and B are mutually exclusive, then P(A\cap B)=0, so P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B). If the given probability is P(A\cup B)=0.55, then you can find P(B)=0.15. But if this given probability is for the intersection, finding P(B) is impossible.


For part (d), if A and B are independent, then P(A\cap B)=P(A)\cdot P(B).
