Given:
Cost of lunch per day = 1 meal and 2 snacks
C = 5.5 + 2(0.75) = 5.5 + 1.5 = 7
7 * 12 days = 84
Based on the choices, the best strategy would be:
<span> A. Make a table. Write the numbers 1 to 12 in the top row of the table (the number of days). In the first box on the second row, write $7. This is how much Rebecca spends in 1 day. In each of the next boxes in the second row, write the amount Rebecca spends by adding $7 to the previous amount. The answer in box 12 is the total amount Rebecca spent after 12 days.</span>
<u>Answers </u>
Part 1 = 2/9
Part 2 =5/9
Part 3 =7/9
<u>Explanation</u>
To convert the a repeating decimals this are the steps;
Part 1
Let x = 0.222222... (i)
10x = 2.222222... (ii)
Subtract equation (i) from equation(ii)
10x = 2.222222....
<u> -x = 0.222222....</u>
9x = 2.00000..
∴ 9x = 2
Divide by 9 both sides;
x = 2/9
Part 2
Let x = 0.5555...
10x = 5.5555...
subtract equation (i) from equation (ii).
10x = 5.5555..
<u> - x = 0.5555..</u>
9x = 5.0000..
∴ 9x = 5
x = 5/9
Part 3
Let x = 0.7777....
10x = 7.7777...
Subtracting equation (i) from equation (ii)
10x = 7.7777...
<u> -x = 0.7777...</u>
9x = 7.000..
∴ 9x = 7
x = 7/9
Pattern noted
When converting the repeating decimals to fraction only one number was repeating. This made the three decimals have the same fraction.
