Answer:

179/495

Step-by-step explanation:

When the repeating decimal starts at the decimal point, the repeating digits can be turned into a fraction by putting them over the same number of 9s. That is, 0.61616161... is equivalent to 61/99.

Here, the repeating part is 1/10 that value, so is 61/990. This is added to the non-repeating part, which is 0.3 = 3/10.

Then the entire decimal is ...

0.361_61 = 3/10 + 61/990 = (297 +61)/990 = 358/990 = 179/495

What is the solution to this inequality?<br><br> −4x−8>−20

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

x < 3

Step-by-step explanation:

−4x − 8 > −20

Add 8 to both sides.

-4x > -12

Divide both sides by -4. Remember that when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign changes.

-4x/(-4) < -12/(-4)

x < 3

Omar has 2 3/4 cups of dough to make Dumplings. If he uses 3/16 cup of dough for each dumpling,how many whole dumplings can Omar

Brrunno [24]

Omar can make 14 whole dumplings. You change 2 3/4 cups to an improper fraction ( multiply the denominator and add the numerator ) and you get 11/4. Since you need 3/16 cups for one dumpling you have to find the greatest common denominator which is 16. You multiply 4 by 11 to get the numerator and end up with 44/16. Since you need 3/16 for one whole dumping you divide 44 by 3 and get 14.6 repeating. You cannot have a fraction of a dumpling so you round down and get the answer 14.
