Step-by-step explanation:

That is so because 1/3 is *not exactly equal to* 0.333333

0.333333 is an approximation of 1/3 which is correct to 6 decimal places.

So 0.333333 x 3 = 0.999999 which is approximately equal to 1.

If you want to be more accurate, you could write the fraction 1/3 everywhere and not write it in floating point form.

1/3 in floating point format will be 0.333333333…..and so on with infinite decimal places. This is because when you try to divide 1 by 3, you get a nonterminating recurring number after decimal point.

Its usually represented by a bar or dot on top of the recurring part

Ex. 1/3 = 0.3bar

(Sorry I can't get the bar on 3 by typing from keyboard)

But let's just say 0.3 bar is 0.333333…and so on to infinity.

When you multiply 0.3bar x 3 you get 0.9bar

= 0.999999….and so on to infinity.

These decimal point figures just a very great approximations of the fraction 1/3.

Hope this helps. Feel free to reply if you still have doubts.

solve for the indicated variable. include all of your work in your answer. submit your solution. P=2L+2W; for L.
allochka39001 [22]
We have this equation:

P=2L+2W

So, we need to solve this equation for L. Then we sum -2W in each member of the equation, like this:

P-2W=2L+2W-2W
P-2W=2L

Then, dividing the equation by 2:

\frac{P-2W}{2}=L

Finally, let's order this equation:


L=\frac{P-2W}{2}

M is the midpoint of AB. AM = 9x-6, and BM = 6x+27 find x. find Am. Find BM.
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

M is the midpoint this means that we can set AM and BM equal to eachother, once this is done we can solve for x

9x-6=6x+27 (set equal to eachother)

9x=6x+33 (add 6)

3x=33 (subtract 6x)

x=11 (divide by 3)
