Answer:

  53/99

Step-by-step explanation:

When an n-digit repeat begins at the decimal point, the repeating digits can be placed over an equal number of 9s to make a fraction. Sometimes, that fraction can be reduced to lower terms.

  0.\overline{53}=\boxed{\dfrac{53}{99}}

__

If the repeat does not start at the decimal point, the conversion can be done as follows.

For a number x with a decimal fraction that has n digits repeating, multiply by 10^n, subtract x and then divide by (10^n -1).

The fraction will be ...

  (x·10^n -x)/(10^n -1) . . . where x has n repeating digits in the decimal fraction

Here, that looks like ...

  x=0.\overline{53}\\100x=53.\overline{53}\\100x-x=53.\overline{53}-0.\overline{53}=53\\99x=53\\x=\dfrac{53}{99}

there are 3 people who work full-time and are to work together on a project but their total time on the project is to be equival
mina [271]

The problem express that the fraction of time worked by the three people need to be equivalent to one person working full time. This means that the fraction need to add up to one. We know one person works ½ time on the project and another works one third 1/3 time.

Given:

A = the amount of time that the third person needs to work on the job to add up to one

1 = ½ +1/3 + A

1 – ½ - 1/3 = A

To subtract the fractions put them all over a common denominator. Use 3 * 2 as the denominator.

1=6/6, ½ = 3/6, 1/3 = 2/6

A = 6/6 – 3/6 – 2/6

<span>A = 1/6 , The third person  must work on the project</span>

A jewelry store is featuring a diamond in the shape of a square pyramid. The side length of
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

128√5/3 mm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are not told what to find, we can as well look for the volume of the pyramid

Volume of a square pyramid: V = (1/3)a²h

a is the side length of the square

h is the height of the pyramid

Given

a = 8mm

l² = (a/2)² + h²

l² = (a/2)² + h²

6² = (8/2)² + h²

h² = 6² - 4²

h² = 36 - 16

h² = 20

h = √20

Volume of a square pyramid =  (1/3)*8²*√20

Volume of a square pyramid = 1/3 * 64 * 2√5

Volume of a square pyramid = 128√5/3 mm³
