What is 0.5 repeating as a fraction in simplest form

Mathematics
1 answer:
Solnce55 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Start be letting x = 0.555...

Our original equation is:

x = 0.555...

There is only one digit repeating, the 5, so we multiply both sides of that equation by 10 and write it above the original equation.

10x = 5.555...

   x = 0.555...

Now we subtract the second equation from the first equation as written above.

9x = 5

Divide both sides by 9.

x = 5/9

0.555... = 5/9

What is the probability of rolling an even number or a perfect square using a 20-sided die?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

C) 12/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Between 1 and 20, 10 numbers are even, 4 numbers are perfect squares (1, 4, 9, and 16), and 2 numbers are both even and perfect squares (4 and 16).

So the probability is:

(10 + 4 − 2) / 20 = 12/20.

Describe two different ways that you could find the product 8 x 997 using mental math. Find the product and explain why your met
jolli1 [7]
One method is to round 997 up to 1000, multiply by 8, and then subtract 8 times 3. This would give you the solution of 7976.

Another method (Which I personally wouldn't use) is to recursively double 997. This is more difficult, although effective. After you double 997, double the resulting number, and then double the resulting number from that, you have the solution. This is because 2^3 is 8.
