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.

Find the slope and y-intercept of the line in each graph
seraphim [82]

Answer:

  slope: 1; y-intercept: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is the y-value where the graph crosses the vertical y-axis. That value is 3.

The slope is the "rise" divided by the "run" for the graph. Here, the graph goes up 1 unit for each unit to the right, so the slope is ...

  m = rise/run = 1/1 = 1

The slope is 1, and the y-intercept is 3.

Gala2k [10]
Use the formula   i = p*r*t.

Here, p = $100000, r = 0.05 and t = 1 (year)

The interest would be   i = $100000*0.05*1 = $5000 per year.
