To write 8.57 as a fraction you have to write 8.57 as numerator and put 1 as the denominator. Now you multiply numerator and denominator by 10 as long as you get in numerator the whole number.
8.57 = 8.57/1 = 85.7/10 = 857/100
And finally we have:
8.57 as a fraction equals 857/100
Answer:
CA ≈ 3.1 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle
tan40° =
=
=
( multiply both sides by CA )
CA × tan40° = 2.6 ( divide both sides by tan40° )
CA =
≈ 3.1 ft ( to the nearest tenth )

We're dividing fractions, so we will flip the one in the denominator upside down and we will multiply it with the numerator.

Let's equal this too 8/x

Cross multiply.

Divide both sides by 15.
