UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

$x = \frac{4}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Winning Percentage = 0.444 repeating

Required

Represent as a fraction

Represent the percentage with x

$x = 0.444$

Convert to fraction

$x = \frac{444}{1000}$

Next step, is to convert to fraction repeating

To do this, we simply subtract 1 from the denominator

$x = \frac{444}{1000 - 1}$

$x = \frac{444}{999}$

Simplify to the lowest term: Divide numerator and denominator by 37

$x = \frac{444/37}{999/37}$

$x = \frac{12}{27}$

Simplify to the lowest term: Divide numerator and denominator by 3

$x = \frac{12/3}{27/3}$

$x = \frac{4}{9}$

Hence;

There winning fraction is $\frac{4}{9}$

Steffie makes a scale drawing for a crate with the demensions 15 inches long by 12 inches wide. Her scale factor is 1:3. Brian m

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Dimensions → (5 inches × 4 inches)

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor used for the drawing by Steffie = $\frac{1}{3}$

Since, scale factor = $\frac{\text{Dimension of the drawing}}{\text{Actual dimension}}$

For Steffie,

Actual length of the crate = $\frac{\text{Dimension of the drawing}}{\text{Scale factor}}$

= $\frac{15}{\frac{1}{3}}$

= 45 inches

Actual width of the crate = $\frac{12}{\frac{1}{3} }$

= 36 inches

Since Brian used the scale factor = $\frac{1}{9}$

Length of the drawing = Actual length × Scale factor

= 45 × $\frac{1}{9}$

= 5 inches

Width of the drawing = Actual width × Scale factor

= 36 × $\frac{1}{9}$

= 4 inches

Therefore, dimensions of the drawing made by Brian are (5 inches × 4 inches)
