To turn
into a fraction you should do such steps:
1 step. Set up an equation by representing the repeating decimal with a variable. Using your example, you will let x represent the repeating decimal 0.(6), so you have x=0.666... .
2 step. Identify how many digits are in the repeating pattern, or n digits. Multiply both sides of the equation from Step 1 by
to create a new equation. Again, using your example, you see that the repeating pattern consists of just one digit: 6. Now multiply both sides of the equation by
. Thus, you have
or
.
3 step. Subtract the equation in Step 1 from the equation in Step 2. Notice that when we subtract these equations, our repeating pattern drops off. Therefore,
.
4 step. You now have an equation that you can solve for x and simplify as much as possible, using x as a fraction:
. If you divide both sides by 9, you get
. When simplified, you get that
.
Answer:
.
Step-by-step explanation:
the speed of the first ship is 20 mph
and the second ship is 15 mph
x = ×-3/4
because you hace the variable x and you do not know the number of fruit snacks he ate and you need to have the same variables to properly find the answer.
