If <em>x</em> = 745/999, then
999<em>x</em> = 745
1000<em>x</em> - <em>x</em> = 745
This equation tells us that the fractional part of 1000<em>x</em> and <em>x</em> cancel upon subtracting. This means the block of repeating digits must be 3 digits long.
To verify this, suppose we write <em>x</em> = 0.<em>yyy</em>… , where <em>y</em> consists of 3 digits. Then
1000<em>x</em> = <em>y</em>.<em>yyy</em>…
1000<em>x</em> - <em>x</em> = <em>y</em>.<em>yyy</em>… - 0.<em>yyy</em>…
999<em>x</em> = <em>y</em>
<em>x</em> = <em>y</em>/999
which means <em>y</em> = 745.
Answer:
Sorry i dont understand
Step-by-step explanation:
14.1 is the correct answer i just calculated it and then subtracted
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we write the rental cost with each company:
Company A 
Company B 
Where m: miles travelled
Now, we need to find "number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same". This means Pa = Pb. Then:
Solving the equation for m by taking 0.2m and 60 on both sides:
Finally, dividing 0.5 on both sides:
