Step-by-step explanation:
The bar above the 3 indicates the 3 is being repeated, that is
0.13333....
We require to make 2 equations with the repeating 3 after the decimal point.
let x = 0.13333... , then multiply both sides by 10 then 100
10x = 1.3333 ← equation with repeating 3 after the decimal point
100x = 13.3333 ← second equation with repeated 3 after the decimal point
Subtracting the equations eliminates the repeated 3, that is
100x - 10x = 13.333 - 1.333
90x = 12 ( divide both sides by 90 )
x = ← divide numerator/denominator by 6, hence
0.1333... =
To convert a mixed fraction into an improper fraction, we must follow some steps.
First, we take the whole part and multiply it by the denominator of the fraction.
In this case, we take 2 and multiply it by 8.
Now we add the numerator:
16+3=19
The denominator stays the same:
