The FDA recommends that women who are pregnant avoid eating more than three 6.00 oz servings of bluefish per month because of th

e relatively high mercury levels in that type of fish. If bluefish contains 0.309 ppm of mercury (that is, 0.309 oz of mercury per 1×106 oz of fish), how many ounces of mercury would a pregnant woman consume in a month if she ate the maximum recommended amount of bluefish?

Answer:

5,562 x 10^{-6}

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Firts, we need to find the maximum recommended amount of bluefish per month. Since the FDA recommends <em>3 servings of 6.00 oz each</em>, the maximum amount would be:

the maximum amount of bluefish per month = 3 * 6.00 oz = 18.00 oz

  • Since bluefish contains <em>0.309 ppm of mercury per 1x10^{6} oz of fis</em>h, then:

0.309 oz mercury --------> 1x10^{6} oz of fish

How many  (y)      --------> 18.00 oz of fish

y = \frac{18.00 oz of fish * 0.309 oz of mercury}{1 x 10^{6} oz of fish }  = 0.000005562 = 5.562 x 10^{-6} oz mercury

Answer:

\displaystyle -0.\overline{37}=-\frac{37}{99}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Convert a Repeating Decimal to a Fraction </u>

We need to convert the following decimal to a fraction:

-0.\overline{37}

Let's call x to the given number:

x=-0.\overline{37}

The number has two repeating (periodic) decimals, thus we multiply by 100:

100x=-37.\overline{37}

Note the decimals continue to repeat exactly like the original number.

Subtracting both expressións, the repeating decimals are simplified:

100x - x = -37

Operating:

99x=-37

Dividing by 99:

\displaystyle x=-\frac{37}{99}

The fraction cannot be simplified, thus:

\mathbf{\displaystyle -0.\overline{37}=-\frac{37}{99}}
