Answer:

  115/198

Step-by-step explanation:

The repeat is 2 digits, so you can multiply the number by 10 to that power.

  x = 0.58080...(2-digit repeat)

  100x = 58.08080...(2-digit repeat)

Then subtract the original number.

  100x -x = 99x = 58.08080... -0.58080... = 57.5

Now, divide by the coefficient of x.

  x = 57.5/99 = 115/198

This fraction cannot be reduced, so is the fraction you're looking for.

  0.580...(2-digit repeat) = 115/198

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The number of 9s in the denominator is the number of repeating digits. If the repeat started at the decimal point, the fraction would be those two repeating digits divided by two 9s (99).

Your number can be considered to be ...

  0.58080...(2-digit repeat) = 0.5 + 0.0808...(2-digit repeat)

This will be ...

  0.58080... = 1/2 + 8/99 = 99/198 +16/198 = 115/198

I need to know the answer
antoniya [11.8K]
2 days late, but the answer is no solution. solving a system of equations means finding where they intersect, but by looking at these equations, you know that they never intersect--they're parallel.

they share a slope (2), making them either parallel or "the same line", but the different x-intercepts (9 and -9) mean that they're different lines. they have no solution, or no intersection point, because they're parallel lines.

Answer:

a ratio of cats to dogs is 5:3 so the total of that ratio is 8 so for every 8 animals there are 5 cats so 5/8*104=65

b. ratio of dogs to cats is 3:5 so 3 of every animal is a dog so 3/8*104 =39

and 39+65=104 as a final check = 104

this also proves that dogs are better than cats
