Answer: A repeating decimal repeats a pattern of the same number. Like 6.7878, that goes on for infinity. When there is a repeating decimal, a line is placed on top of the pattern. A terminating decimal is the opposite and doesn't repeat.

Answer:

To find out whether a fraction will have a terminating or recurring decimal, look at the prime factors of the denominator when the fraction is in its most simple form. If they are made up of 2s and/or 5s, the decimal will terminate. If the prime factors of the denominator contain any other numbers, the decimal will recur.

Some decimals are irrational, which means that the decimals go on forever but not in a pattern (they are not recurring). An example of this would be pi or $\sqrt{ 2$ .

And accounts receivable manager process 200 chicks per day with an average processing time of 15 working days what is the averag

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Given that an accounts receivable manager process 200 checks per day with an average processing time of 15 working days, to determine what is the average number of accounts receivable checks being processed in her office, the following calculation must be performed:

200 x 15 = X

3,000 = X

Thus, the average number of accounts receivable checks being processed in her office is 3,000.

In turn, if through information technology she reduces the process time from 15 days to 10 days to 5 days, the advantages and disadvantages of adopting this technology would be less work time and greater processing speed, although in contrast the times of effective work would be saturated.

Round 392 to the nearest ten

Bezzdna [24]

Nearest 10 is according to the last digit.
if the digit is >5, it +1 to the tenth digit. If it's <5, it will be reduced to 0.

for your case, 392, 2 < 5, therefore rounded up to nearest tenth is 390.
