A term subtracted by 1, then multiplied by 3.
Hello!
I'm assuming you're looking for 1.848484.
The first thing we want to do is get rid of the repeating part. The way we can do this is subtract the number we are given from itself multiplied by a power of 10. So, set 1.8484... = x. And based off of that, find 100x. This is because the next time the decimal repeating will become .8484 again is after two numbers pass.
1.848484... = x
184.8484... = 100x
Next, subtract x from 100x. This will get rid of the repeating decimal.
100x - x = 184.8484... - 1.8484
99x = 183
Finally, divide both sides by 99. This leaves us with a fraction.
99x = 183
x = 183 / 99
Simplify this fraction.
183 / 99 -> 61 / 33
Finally, turn it into a mixed number, as this is the form your question is looking for.
61/33 -> 1 28/33
Hope this helps!
<em>Answer:
</em>
<em>Elena's running speed is 5 miles/hour
</em>
<em>Explanation:
</em>
<em>The speed is defined as the covered distance per unit time
</em>
<em>In the problem, we have:
</em>
<em>The distance covered is the length (circumference) of the circular track which is given as of a mile.
</em>
<em>We are also given that she completes each lap (she completes of a mile) in of an hour
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>To get her speed, we will divide the distance covered by the time taken to cover this distance
</em>
<em>This is done as follows:
</em>
<em>speed = miles/hour
</em>
<em>This means that:
</em>
<em>Elena can run 5 miles each hour</em>
