Answer:
It is 4/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = 0.363636363636
Now as there are two digits repeating immediately after decimal point, we multiply above by 100 and get
100x = 36.363636363636
Now subtracting first equation from second we get
99x = 36
and hence
x = 36/ 99
= (9 × 4) / (9 × 11)
which then equals
= 4/11
A rate is a special ratio in which the two terms are in different units. A rate is a little bit different than the ratio, it is a special ratio. For this case, the rate would have units of miles per minutes. We calculate as follows:
rate = 36 miles / 45 min = 0.8 miles per min
distance traveled = 0.8 miles per min ( 60 min ) = 48 miles
