Answer:

=\frac{27}{125}

Step-by-step explanation:

0.216

\mathrm{Multiply\:and\:divide\:by\:10\:for\:every\:number\:after\:the\:decimal\:point.}

\mathrm{There\:are\:}3\mathrm{\:digits\:to\:the\:right\:of\:the\:decimal\:point,\:therefore\:multiply\:and\:divide\:by\:}1000

=\frac{0.216\cdot \:1000}{1000}

=\frac{216}{1000}

216,\:1000

\mathrm{The\:GCD\:of\:}a,\:b\mathrm{\:is\:the\:largest\:positive\:number\:that\:divides\:both\:}a\mathrm{\:and\:}b\mathrm{\:without\:a\:remainder}

2,\:3\mathrm{\:are\:all\:prime\:numbers,\:therefore\:no\:further\:factorization\:is\:possible}

=2\cdot \:2\cdot \:2\cdot \:3\cdot \:3\cdot \:3

2,\:5\mathrm{\:are\:all\:prime\:numbers,\:therefore\:no\:further\:factorization\:is\:possible}

=2\cdot \:2\cdot \:2\cdot \:5\cdot \:5\cdot \:5

\mathrm{The\:prime\:factors\:common\:to\:}216,\:1000\mathrm{\:are\:}

=2\cdot \:2\cdot \:2

\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:2\cdot \:2\cdot \:2=8

=8

=\frac{8\cdot \:27}{8\cdot \:125}

\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:8

=\frac{27}{125}

Hence, the correct answer is =\frac{27}{125}

Store A sells 11 bagels for 9.57 Store B sells bagels for 3.52. How do the unit rates compare?
Sloan [31]
First you put the numbers in this form:

11 Bagels = $9.57
________ _______
? Bagels   = $3.52

Now they look like fractions but you have to cross multiply them like this: 11 x $3.52 which makes $38.72 then you divide $38.72 by $9.57 which makes the answer that you have to find which is 4.04597701 or just to round 4 and then that will be your answer.
