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.

Daniel [21]
Mary worked 22 hours.

Triangle DEF, shown below, is reflected over the y-axis to form triangle D'E'F'. What are
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

(-6, -4).

Step-by-step explanation:

When you reflect coordinates over the y-axis, the x-coordinates remain the same, but the y-coordinates become their additive inverse.

The original coordinates for F are (6, -4).

The new coordinates for F would be F' (-6, -4).

Find 15 + (-72) show your work<br><br> I will give Brainly! Pls help!
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: -57

Step-by-step explanation:

15 + ( - 72)

Distribute

15 - 72

When this happens, you subtract the smaller number by the bigger one, then put the sign that was on the bigger number on what you get.

72 - 15 = 57

Put a negative sign on 57

-57

15 + (-72) = -57
