Answer: 9 pieces of ribbon
Explanation: 4.5 / 0.5 = 9
The answer is 12 according to Apex
For this case we have the following inequality:

We multiply both sides of the equation by -1.
By doing this, change the symbol of the inequality.
We have then:

From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:
Answer:
The solution set is:
{x | x R, x < -12}
Answer: The fraction 301/900
Note: I'm assuming the 4's continue on forever
==============================================
Work Shown:
I'm going to assume that the 4s go on forever. I'll represent this with three dots after the last 4 like so
0.334444...
Now let x = 0.334444...
Multiply both sides by 100
x = 0.334444...
100x = 100*(0.334444...)
100x = 33.444444...
And repeat with 1000
x = 0.334444...
1000x = 1000*(0.334444...)
1000x = 334.444444...
Then subtract and solve for x. Notice how the decimal parts line up and cancel
1000x-100x = (334.444444...) - (33.444444...)
1000x-100x = (334+0.444444...) - (33+0.444444...)
1000x-100x = 334+0.444444... - 33 - 0.444444...
1000x-100x = (334-33)+(0.444444... - 0.444444...)
900x = 334 - 33
900x = 301
x = 301/900
X = 41/5 or 8 1/5 my guyyyyyyyy
