As a fraction in simplified form, 3.5 is equal to 7/2 .

But you say you want something that's repeating.  

That's a problem . . . there's no part of 3.5 that's repeating now, and if I just go ahead and write something that does repeat, my invention will change the value, and it won't be equal to 3.5 any more.

Here's one possibility, I guess: <em>3.500 000 000 000 000 000 000 . . .</em>

The zeros repeat infinitely, and no matter how many (or how few) zeros you write, the value of the number is always 3.5 and it never changes.

If it's the ' 5 ' on the end that you want to see repeating, that's actually easier to work with.  Then we have <em>3.555 555 555 555 555 555 . . .</em>

THOSE fives really do keep repeating and never end, and that number is equal to <em>(3 and 5/9)</em> or<em> (32/9) </em>.

Daniel has a coupon for $1.44 off
Art [367]

Answer:

Daniel will save $1.18

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the cost of the name-brand flour with the coupon:

Subtract 1.44 from the original price of 9.12:

9.12 - 1.44

= 7.68

So, the price of the name-brand flour with the coupon is $7.68

Now, find how much he will save by finding the difference between this price and the price of the store brand flour:

8.86 - 7.68

= 1.18

So, Daniel will save $1.18
