0.2 Repeating Decimal is 2/9 as a Fraction

galben [10]3 years ago

Answer:

2.9

Step-by-step explanation:

We let 0.2 be x.

Since x is recurring in 1 decimal places, we multiply it by 10.

10x = 2.2

Next, we subtract them.

10x - x = 2.2 - 0.2

9x = 2

Lastly, we divide both sides by 9 to get x as a fraction.

Answer: x = 2.9 or 2/9.

time switching classes:

w = 7/10

y - 6x - z - w = 0

6x = y - z - w

x = (y - z - w)/6

x = (76/10 - 5/10 - 7/10)/6

x = (76 - 5 - 7)/(10*6)

x = (64)/(10*6)

x = (2*2*2*2*2*2)/(2*5*2*3)

x = (2*2*2*2)/(5*3)

x = 16/15

x = 1.0666666666

check:

y = 7 + 3/5

y = 7.6

z = 1/2

z = 0.5

w = 7/10

w = 0.7

y - 6x - z - w = 0

6x = y - z - w

x = (y - z - w)/6

x = (7.6 - 0.5 - 0.7)/6

x = 1.0666666666

Approximate pi plus the square root of 70 to the nearest hundredth.

stich3 [128]

Answer:

11.51

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, a calculator is required to evaluate the irrational sum ...

π + √70

<h3>Calculator result</h3>

The result from a readily-available online calculator is shown in the attachment.

π + √70 ≈ 11.51

<em>Additional comment</em>

You have probably memorized pi to several digits: 3.1416. To obtain the required estimate means you need to approximate √70 to about the same level of precision.

For a number n = a² +b, the square root can be approximated by the continued fraction ...

√n ≈ a +b/(2a +b/(2a +...))

Effectively, the root (r) can be iterated from the recursive formula ...

r' = a +b/(a +r)

For √70, we have 70 = 8² +6 ⇒ a=8, b=6

If the initial approximation of the root is r0≈a=8, then a couple of iterations gives ...

r1 = 8 + 6/(8 +r0) = 8 + 6/(8 +8) = 8 3/8

r2 = 8 + 6/(8 +r1) = 8 +6/(8 +8 3/8) = 8 48/131

This has sufficient accuracy for the purpose. The decimal equivalent of the sum then becomes ...

3.1416 +8.3664 = 11.5080 ≈ 11.51

Alecsey [184]

Answer: 22

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question the, we are informed that members of a lacrosse team raised $1352.50 to go to a tournament and that they rented a bus for $802.50 and budgeted $25 per player for meals.

The equation which can be used to determine p, the number of players the team can bring to the tournament would be calculated as:

802.50 + 25p = 1352.50

25p = 1352.50 - 802.50

25p = 550

p = 550/25

p = 22

They can bring 22 players to the tournament
