Let, the numbers = a, b
a/b = 17
a = 17b
& a + b = 36
17b + b = 36
18b = 36
b = 36/18
b = 2
So, a = 17(2) = 34
In short, Your Numbers would be: 2 & 34
Hope this helps!
$62 times 8% = $4.96
$62+$4.96= $66.96
$66.96+$15= $81.96

The fraction is 4/11</h3>
==================================================
Work Shown:
Let x = 0.363636...
The "36" pattern goes on forever as indicated by the three dots.
Multiply both sides by 100 to get 100x = 36.363636...
Effectively, multiplying by 100 moves the decimal point over 2 spots to the right. The "36" goes on forever here too. The key is to match up the infinite sequences of "36"s and cancel them out through subtraction
36.363636... - 0.363636... = 36
while
100x - x = 99x
So after subtracting the equations, we end up with 99x = 36
From here we solve for x by dividing both sides by 99 and reducing the fraction
99x = 36
x = 36/99
x = (9*4)/(9*11)
x = 4/11
As a check, use your calculator to find that
4/11 = 0.36363636...
so the answer is confirmed
Note: your calculator may display something like 0.3636363636364, that 4 should not be there. It's a result of rounding (due to the next digit being a 6). Keep in mind that rounding error is often a possibility when it comes to approximate calculations. The calculator only has so much memory and display space.
Answer:
4 5/6 + 5 7/8= 10 17/24
Step-by-step explanation:
pretty sure I answered this exact question like minutes ago
1. 1,5 divided by 2 is 0,75 so on the right side its 0,75
2. We make x/8 = 0,75 | *8
so we get: x = 0,75 * 8
which is the same as x = 6
so the answer is x = 6
