Compare 1/7 to consecutive multiples of 1/9. This is easily done by converting the fractions to a common denominator of LCM(7, 9) = 63:

1/9 = 7/63

2/9 = 14/63

while

1/7 = 9/63

Then 1/7 falls between 1/9 and 2/9, so 1/7 = 1/9 plus some remainder. In particular,

1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/63.

We do the same sort of comparison with the remainder 2/63 and multiples of 1/9² = 1/81. We have LCM(63, 9²) = 567, and

1/9² = 7/567

2/9² = 14/567

3/9² = 21/567

while

2/63 = 18/567

Then

2/63 = 2/9² + 4/567

so

1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/9² + 4/567

Compare 4/567 with multiples of 1/9³ = 1/729. LCM(567, 9³) = 5103, and

1/9³ = 7/5103

2/9³ = 14/5103

3/9³ = 21/5103

4/9³ = 28/5103

5/9³ = 35/5103

6/9³ = 42/5103

while

4/567 = 36/5103

so that

4/567 = 5/9³ + 1/5103

and so

1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/9² + 5/9³ + 1/5103

Next, LCM(5103, 9⁴) = 45927, and

1/9⁴ = 7/45927

2/9⁴ = 14/45927

while

1/5103 = 9/45927

Then

1/5103 = 1/9⁴ + 2/45927

so

1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/9² + 5/9³ + 1/9⁴ + 2/45927

One last time: LCM(45927, 9⁵) = 413343, and

1/9⁵ = 7/413343

2/9⁵ = 14/413343

3/9⁵ = 21/413343

while

2/45927 = 18/413343

Then

2/45927 = 2/9⁵ + remainder

so

1/7 = 1/9¹ + 2/9² + 5/9³ + 1/9⁴ + 2/9⁵ + remainder

Then the base 9 expansion of 1/7 is

0.12512..._9

Find the equation of the line that goes through the points (3,8) and (9,16).
Aneli [31]

Answer:

4x-3y+12=0 is required eqn

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, 3,8 be x1,y1

9,16 be x2,y2

Now,

Eqn of st.line is y-y1 = y2-y2/x2-x1 * (x-x1)

y-8 = 16-8/9-3 * (x-3)

y-8 = 4/3*(x-3)

3y-24 = 4x-12

4x-3y+12=0 is required eqn

The total amount of fiber (in grams) in a package containing x apples and y oranges is given by the equation 5x + 10y = 110. Is
Flauer [41]
The answer is NO
Because if x=5 the equation is 125+10y=110
In this case y will be a negative
You can’t have a negative oranges
So the answer is NO

---- = ----------

5         AC

4        10

---- = ----------

5         AC

Using cross products

4 * AC = 5*10

4AC = 50

Divide by 4

AC = 50/4

AC =12.5
