Express 3.222......in p/q form
1 answer:
Answer:
3.22222...... =
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question we have to convert the number given in recurrent decimals into fraction.
Recurrent decimal number is 3.22222.......
Let x = 3.2222......... -------(1)
Multiply this expression by 10.
10x = 32.2222........... -------(2)
Now subtract the expression (1) from (2),
10x = 32.22222.....
<u> x = 3.22222.......</u>
9x = 29
x =
Therefore, recurrent decimal number can be written as which is in the form of

Answer:
Graph A
Step-by-step explanation:
Say that the car rental rate stands for c dollars ( $ ). We know that Jamal's trip lasts for 4 days, paying $ 24 in expenses for gas, and $ 128 for taxi services. Based on these requirements for his trip the question asks for a graph that models this situation, but lets start with the inequality.
______
The big key here is the part " which graph shows the range of car rental rates that would be cheaper than the taxi service. " Our inequality must thus have the variable " c " on the same side as the payment for gas ($ 24 ), and must be less than the taxi service ( $ 128 ), or in other words a less than sign. Another point is the car rental rate. We know it stands for c, but it is dependent on the number of days. Hence we can conclude the following inequality,
24 + 4c < 128 - Subtract 24 from either side,
4c < 104 - Divide by 4 on either side, isolating c,
c < 26
The range of car rental rates that would be cheaper than the taxi service should be { c | 0 ≤ c < 26 }, knowing variable c stands for the car rental rates.
______
The graph that models this range should be the first one, option A. This graph is not accurate however, as it extends infinitely in the negative direction, and you can't have negative money, or rather be in debt - in this situation.
Answer:
A: C = 2: 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see the attached pictures for the full solution.
Further explanantion (2nd image):
The reason why the ratio of A: C is equal to the ratio if 2A: 2C is that the number of parts of A and C is equal, which is 2 parts. If I were to divide both 2A and 2C by 2 to find the ratio of A: C, I would obtain 15: 15/2. However, ratios are expressed as whole numbers and thus, we would multiply the whole ratio by 2 again and the answer would still be 30: 15. This ratio is not in the simplest form since both can be divided by 15. Thus, dividing both sides of the ratio by 15 will leave us with the final answer of
A: C= 2: 1.
☆ An alternative method is to simplify the ratio 3B: 2C at the beginning.
3B: 2C
= 36: 15
= 12: 5
Multiply the first ratio by 2 so 3B has 12 parts in both ratios:
2A: 3B
= 10: 12
Combining the 2 ratios together,
2A: 3B: 2C
= 10: 6: 5
2A: 2C
= 10: 5
= 2: 1
A: C= 2: 1
