When writing a repeating decimal as a fraction does the number of repeating digits matter explain

No. Even if the number of different digits in the cycle is 1 or 1 million, the method of finding the fraction is the same.

Here's one sample

x = 0.333333333333333333..... to infinity.

10x = 3.3333333333333333 .....

....x = 0.3333333333333333.... Subtract

9x = 3

x = 1/3 which you likely knew already.

A more complicated one would be

x = 0.123456712345671234567 ..... You have to indicate this goes to infinity.

1000000x = 1234567.1234567 .... to infinity

. . . . . . . . x = . . . . . . .0.1234567 ....

999999x = 1234567 divide by 999999

x = 1234567/999999 This might reduce but for the purposes of this question it does not matter. Notice the method is the same.

If you mean that does the cycle contain an infinite number of digits, then yes it does matter. There have to be an infinite number of them.

Well i think that if there is 25 ball there is more likely to be odd cause there is not 26 balls to make even and odds have the same amount of odd and even balls so there is one more odd than there is even

Write each percent as a fraction in simplest form 16%
padilas [110]

Answer:

16% is 4/25 15% is 3/20 14% is 7/50 13% is 13/100 12% is 3/25 11% is 11/100 10% is 1/10 9% is 9/100 8% is 2/25 7% is 7/100 6% is 3/50 5% is 1/20 4% is 1/25 3% is 3/100 2% is 1/50 and 1% is 1/100

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find a percent you have to put that number over 100 so say I was looking for 20% you would put 20/100 then you would reduce by dividing if they can and both can be divided by two so it would then be 10/50 then those can be divided by 10 so it would be 1/5
