The required number is -3 which when added to the numerator and to the denominator of 5/8 results in a fraction whose value is 0.4.
<h3>What is a fraction?</h3>
Fraction is the ratio of a particular part to the whole parts of an object. A fraction has a numerator and a denominator.
<h3>Calculation:</h3>
The given fraction is 5/8
Consider a number as 'x' which is added to both the numerator and the denominator of the given fraction.
So,
(5 + x)/(8 + x)
Since it is given that the result is 0.4 i.e., 4/10, we can write
(5 + x)/(8 + x) = 4/10
⇒ 10(5 + x) = 4(8 + x)
⇒ 50 + 10x = 32 + 4x
⇒ 10x - 4x = 32 - 50
⇒ 6x = -18
⇒ x = -18/6
∴ x = -3
Therefore, the required number is -3.
Check:
(5 + (-3))/(8 + (-3)) = (5 - 3)/(8 - 3) = 2/5 = 0.4

Well I don't know how to show work on this one.
50. 2 3/4 is between 2 and 3, three times farther from two than three. Draw a dot in approximately that locations and mark it 2 3/4.
51. 4 1/3 is between 4 and 5, twice as far from five as from four. Draw a dot and mark it 4 1/3.
Is the first one, not periodic
Considering the margin of error, it is found that the 95% confidence interval for the percentage of adults who say vaccines should be required is (64.9%, 71.1%).
<h3>What is a confidence interval?</h3>
It is given by the sample statistic plus/minus the margin of error.
In this problem, 68% of adults say such vaccines should be required, with a margin of error of 3.1%, hence:
68% - 3.1% = 64.9%.
68% + 3.1% = 71.1%.
The 95% confidence interval for the percentage of adults who say vaccines should be required is (64.9%, 71.1%).
