To solve such questions we will have to observe the fact that this is a repeating decimal number with the repeating figures being 2 and 1 as 21.

Thus, we can represent 1.21212121... as 1.\overline{21}

Let us represent the original number 1.21212121... by the letter "a". Thus,

a=1.21212121...=1.\overline{21}

Therefore,a=1.\overline{21}..................(equation 1)

Let us now multiply (equation 1) by 100 to get:

100a=100\times 1.212121...=121.\overline{21}.....(equation 2)

Now, when we subtract (equation 2) from (equation 1), we will get:

100a-a=121.\overline{21}-1.\overline{21}

99a=120

\therefore a=\frac{120}{99}

Thus the given number 1.21212121... can be represented as a fraction as \frac{120}{9}.

What are one dimensional figures
agasfer [191]
Hello!

In geometry there are three dimensions.

Something that is one dimensional is neither flat, wide, or tall. It is just a line.
——————————————
Something two dimensional is flat and wide but has no height. An example of this is a square.

Something three dimensional is wide and tall, and has flat faces. An example is a cube.

To answer your question something one dimensional is something that is not flat, wide, or tall, such as a line.

The value of 12pi over 10pi times 5pi Over 6pi is closest to the whole number (blank). Find the blank
lisov135 [29]

Given:

The expression is

\dfrac{12\pi}{10\pi}\times \dfrac{5\pi}{6\pi}

To find:

The value of the given expression closest to the whole number.

Solution:

We have,

\dfrac{12\pi}{10\pi}\times \dfrac{5\pi}{6\pi}

Cancel out the common factors from each fraction.

=\dfrac{6}{5}\times \dfrac{5}{6}

=\dfrac{6\times 5}{5\times 6}

=\dfrac{30}{30}

=1

Therefore, the value of the given expression is 1.

The product of a constant factor 15 and a 2-term factor x+4
dezoksy [38]
The product of 15 and x+4 is 15(x+4) = 15x+60. This is a linear binomial.

4x^3-2x-9-(2x^3) is a cubic trinomial. In your original question, I'm not sure what the 5x+3 means.
