Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Your original number to convert is 0.333333. Let's slide the decimal point in this number to the right 1 place(s) (the same number of digits in the number 3).
If we do this, we'll get a 3.333333 (slide the decimal in the 0.333333 right 1 places, you'll get 3.333333).
So what? Well now, we have two numbers with the same repeating decimal parts, 3.333333 and 0.333333.
Now let's just work a little algebra into all of this. Let's call your original number x. And in this case, x = 0.333333. The number with the decimal point slid over can be called 10x, because 10x = 3.333333
10x = 3.33333
-x = 0.333333
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, solving 9x=3 for x by dividing both sides of it by 9, we'll get that x=3/9. And this is your answer.
How is this your answer? Well remember that above, x was originally set equal to 0.333333 via x = 0.333333, and now we have that x is also equal to 3/9, so that means 0.333333 = 3/9..and there's 0.333333 written as a fraction.

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The step shown indicates that y was eliminated from the equations. For choices A, B, D, this is done by adding the equations together (the y-coefficients are opposites). The result of doing that gives x-terms of 4x, 0x, and 0x, respectively. These x-terms do not match the one given: 2x.
For choice C, the y-term is eliminated by subtracting twice the second equation from the first. Doing that gives ...
(4x +2y) -2(x +y) = (14) -2(3)
4x +2y -2x -2y = 14 -6 . . . . eliminate parentheses
2x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
