In algebra, the conversion of a more complex number to a simpler mixed number is rather simple. For the repeated numbers, which are designated by the bar above them, we simply have to put over 9 for each number repeated and 0 for the non-repeated numbers.
In this item, we have 1.28 with bar above 28 signifying that the number can also be written as 1.28282828.... The mixed number is then equal to,
<em>1 and 28/99 or 1 and 28 over 99</em>
Therefore, the answer to this item is the second choice.
Answer:
The probability is 435/6,806
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, the total number of coins in the jar is
13 + 15 + 29 + 26 = 83
The probability of selecting a dime is 15/83
Now we want to grab a nickel
Since we already selected a dime and we did not replace it, the number of total coins in the jar will be 83-1 = 82
So the probability of selecting a nickel this time is
29/82
So the total probability of the event in the described order is;
15/83 * 29/82
= 435/6,806
