<h3>Answer: 4/9</h3>

==============================================

Work Shown:

$x = 0.\overline{4}\\\\x = 0.4444\ldots\\\\10x = 4.4444\ldots\\\\10x-x = 4.4444\ldots-0.4444\ldots\\\\9x = 4\\\\x = \frac{4}{9}\\\\\frac{4}{9} = 0.\overline{4}= 0.4444\ldots\\\\$

The idea is that when we subtract 10x and x, the infinite decimal pattern (the 4s that go on forever) will cancel. That leads to 9x = 4 which solves to x = 4/9

Answer:

Mr. devito needs to buy 40 packs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of fourth grade students = 118

The number of pencils in one pack = 6

The number pencil each student gets =2

To find:

The number of packs of pencils that is to be bought = ?

Solution:

To give all the 118 fourth grade students each 2 pencils , the total number of pencils needed will be

= > $118 \times 2$

=> 236 Pencils

We know that a pack contains 6 pencils, so the number of pack that has to be bought , in order to have 236 pencils will be

=> $\frac{ \text{total number of pencils}}{\text{ number of pencils per pack }}$

On substituting the values

=> $\frac{236}{6}$

=> 39.33

=> 40
