Answer:
see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
0.888...
This is a <u>repeating decimal</u> (Is a decimal that has a digit, or a block of digits, that repeat over and over and over again without ever ending)
Convert to fraction number
Let
x=0.888...
10x=8.888...
Subtract 0.888... from 8.888... to remove the decimal
10x-x=8.888...-0.888...
9x=8
Solve for x
x=8/9
therefore
Mike fraction is incorrect
because 4/5=0.8
0.8 is a <u>terminating decimal </u>(It's a decimal with a finite number of digits)
Mike's mistake was considering the number as a terminating decimal instead of a repeating decimal
Beth is correct
because
If you divide 8/9
the result is 0.8888888...
Answer:
= 0.8 + -0.4y
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
5x + 2y = 4
Solving
5x + 2y = 4
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.
5x + 2y + -2y = 4 + -2y
Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0
5x + 0 = 4 + -2y
5x = 4 + -2y
Divide each side by '5'.
x = 0.8 + -0.4y
The scale factor of the length of the sides of the cubes is 2:3
