Step-by-step explanation:
we have
0.888...
This is a <u>repeating decimal</u> (Is a decimal that has a digit, or a block of digits, that repeat over and over and over again without ever ending)
Convert to fraction number
Let
x=0.888...
10x=8.888...
Subtract 0.888... from 8.888... to remove the decimal
10x-x=8.888...-0.888...
9x=8
Solve for x
x=8/9
therefore
Mike fraction is incorrect
because 4/5=0.8
0.8 is a <u>terminating decimal </u>(It's a decimal with a finite number of digits)
Mike's mistake was considering the number as a terminating decimal instead of a repeating decimal
Beth is correct
because
If you divide 8/9
the result is 0.8888888...
Step-by-step explanation:
is this the question you asked
Answer:
Total number of students = 360
Total number of girls = 120
Total number of boys = x / ?
120/240= 1/2
50%
Step-by-step explanation: To find out the percent of the boys you first
subtract the whole amount of students which is 360 students in total to the number of girls (120) resulting 240. 240 in ratio is 1/2. 1/2 is 50%.
