Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you want the surface area of a rectangular prism, then you'll use a formula resembling this:
A = 2(area of end) + 2(area of top) + 2 (area of side).
Example: suppose the dimensions of the prism are 3 in by 5 in by 8 in.
Then the total surface area is:
A = 2(3*5) + 2(3*8) + 2(5*8) square inches, or 2(15) + 2(48) + 2(40) sq in, or
A = 30 + 96 + 80 sq in, or A = 206 sq in
Okay, here we go.
With simpler decimals, this is a bit easier so I'll explain that first to make sure you get the basic idea.
Let's say you had a decimal for .75 and wanted to create the fraction mathematically. To do this you would:
First divide the decimal by 1 so .75/1
Then multiply be a multiple of 10 that eliminates the decimal so in this case 100
so you now have 75/100
When you simplify that fraction by dividing by 25, you of course get 3/4
Now on to your more complicated question:
Let's assign a variable to your repeating decimal so:
x=.1515151515
Now, let's identify the repeating digits, here they are .15
Move one set of the repeating digits in front of the decimal so now we get:
100x=15.1515151515
Now you have two equations, they are:
x=.1515151515
100x=15.1515151515
Combine the equations into one equation:
100x-x=15.1515151515-.1515151515
99x=15
15/99
simplify and you get 5/33
