To solve a problem like this, we need to start with the innermost parenthesis. Doing that, we get to 4+1, evaluating it giving us 5. This turns our expression into 5 x {3 x [9 - 5]} + 20 ÷ 4 x 2.
Now, the innermost parenthesis is 9-5. Evaluating that gives us 4. Our expression is now 5 x {3 x 4} + 20 ÷ 4 x 2.
Once again, we go to the innermost parenthesis and evaluate whatever is there. This turns our expression into <span>5 x 12 + 20 ÷ 4 x 2.
Now, we can simply use order of operations to compute that the value of the expression is equal to 70. </span>
Answer:
1/10
13/100
4/5
12/25
3/10
63/100
3/5
51/200
2/9
5/11
To prove the last 2 recurring ones:
0.222222... = x
10x = 10 * 0.22222... = 2.222222....
Notice how the decimal part of 10x is the same as for x:
10x - x = 2.2222222... - 0.222222... = 2
10x - x = 9x = 2
x = 2/9
Same procedure for the other one but times by 100 instead:
x = 0.454545...
100x = 45.454545...
100x - x = 45.454545... - 0.454545... = 45
100x - x = 99x = 45
x = 45/99 = 5/11
D. All irrational numbers are rational numbers.
I attached the diagram my teacher showed us when we learned about this. I think it makes it a lot less confusing.
Hope this helps :)
36,700, it stays the same
