Answer:
5/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Start be letting x = 0.555...
Our original equation is:
x = 0.555...
There is only one digit repeating, the 5, so we multiply both sides of that equation by 10 and write it above the original equation.
10x = 5.555...
x = 0.555...
Now we subtract the second equation from the first equation as written above.
9x = 5
Divide both sides by 9.
x = 5/9
0.555... = 5/9
You can answer this problem in two different ways: the first being (17 - 5) * x, and the second being 12 * x.
You need two pieces and 1 has to be 2x longer than the other
set x as the smaller piece (easier to always go with the smaller value as x)
the other piece is 2x (double in size)
your equations would be 3x=240>>> x= 60
so smaller piece/ x= 60
bigger piece/ 2x= 120
