Let

x=72.111...

Multiply x by a power of  10, one that keeps the decimal part of the number the same:  

10x=721.111..


Subtract x from \\10x


10x-x=721.111-72.111=649


The repeating decimals should cancel out


\\9x=649


solve for x


Divide by 9 both sides


9x/9=649/9


x=649/9


therefore


the answer is


The fraction  is \frac{649}{9}

x=72.\overline{1}\\
10x=721.\overline{1}\\
10x-x=721.\overline{1}-72.\overline{1}\\
9x=649\\
x=\dfrac{649}{9}

A hollow sphere sits snugly in a foam cube so that the sphere touches each side of the cube. Find the volume of the foam.
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

                             π

V-foam = 4r³( 2 - ----- )

                             3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the radius of the sphere be r.  Then the volume of the sphere is

V = (4/3)(π)(r³).  

Next, recognize that the side length of the cube is 2r, and that the volume of the cube is thus

V = (2r)³, or 8r³.

Then the volume of the foam is equal to the volume of the cube less the volume of the sphere:

V-foam = 8r³ - (4/3)(π)(r³).  This could be factored into

                             π

V-foam = 4r³( 2 - ----- )

                             3

Charlotte’s weekly paycheck is based on the number of hours worked during the week and on the weekend. If she works 13 hours dur
Gelneren [198K]
I am setting the week hourly rate to x, and the weekend to y.  Here is how the equation is set up:

13x + 14y = $250.90
15x + 8y = $204.70

This is a system of equations, and we can solve it by multiplying the top equation by 4, and the bottom equation by -7.  Now it equals:

52x + 56y = $1003.60
-105x - 56y = -$1432.90

Now we add these two equations together to get:

-53x = -$429.30 --> 53x = $429.30 --> (divide both sides by 53) x = 8.10.  This is how much she makes per hour on a week day.

Now we can plug in our answer for x to find y.  I am going to use the first equation, but you could use either.

$105.30 + 14y = $250.90.  Subtract $105.30 from both sides --> 14y = $145.60 divide by 14 --> y = $10.40

Now we know that she makes $8.10 per hour on the week days, and $10.40 per hour on the weekends.  Subtracting 8.1 from 10.4, we figure out that she makes $2.30 more per hour on the weekends than week days.

A rectangle that had the perimeter of 70 and the area of 250 has enlarged; its sides became twice as long. what is the new area
aliya0001 [1]
The perimeter of the original rectangle is:
 P = 2w + 2l = 70
 The area of the original rectangle is:
 A = w * l = 250
 Then, by modifying the length of its sides we have:
 Perimeter:
 P '= 2 (2w) +2 (2l)
 Rewriting:
 P '= 2 (2w + 2l)
 P '= 2P
 P '= 2 (70)
 P '= 140
 Area:
 A '= (2w) * (2l)
 Rewriting:
 A '= (2) * (2) (w) * (l)
 A '= 4 * w * l
 A '= 4 * A
 A '= 4 * 250
 A '= 1000
 Answer:
 
the new area and the new perimeter are:
 
P '= 140
 
A '= 1000
