Answer: 5/66 (I'm so sorry if this is wrong)

Step-by-step explanation: First you divide 10 and 3 3/4. 10 ÷ 3 3/4 = 0.0757575757575.

To turn that back into to a fraction, let X equal the decimal number

Equation 1:

X = 0.0757575757575 (1)

With 12 digits in the repeating decimal group,

create a second equation by multiplying

both sides by 1012 = 1000000000000

Equation 2:

1000000000000X = 75757575757.5757575757575 (2)

Subtract equation (1) from equation (2)

1000000000000X = 75757575757.5757575757575...

X = 0.0757575757575...

999999999999X = 75757575757.5

We get

999999999999X = 75757575757.5

Solve for X

X = 75757575757.5/999999999999

Multiply to eliminate 1 decimal places.

Here you multiply top and bottom by 1 10's

= 101 = 10

75757575757.5/999999999999 × 10/10 = 757575757575/9999999999990

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 757575757575 and 9999999999990, if it exists, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 151515151515,

757575757575/9999999999990 ÷ 151515151515/151515151515 = 5/66

Therefore

X = 5/66

In conclusion,

0.0757575757575 = 5/66

sammy [17]

Answer:

Each book costed $34.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a book be x.

324-9x=18

Add 9x to both sides:

324=18+9x

Subtract 18 from both sides:

306=9x

9x=306

Divide both sides by 9:

x=34

Each book costed $34.
