Express $0.\overline{5}$ as a common fraction in lowest terms.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  5/9

=======================================================

Explanation:

[tex]0.\overline{5}[/tex] means that the 5's go on forever because of that horizontal bar over top. So we can write it as [tex]0.\overline{5} = 0.55555\ldots[/tex]

The three dots indicate it goes on forever following that pattern.

Let

x = 0.55555....

Multiply both sides by 10 to move the decimal point 1 spot to the right

10x = 5.55555....

Notice how both x and 10x involve a decimal number such that we have a string of 5's going on forever. If we subtract the two equations, then 10x-x becomes 9x, while the (5.55555....) - (0.55555....) simplifies to 5. The decimal portions cancel out when we subtract since they line up perfectly. We're effectively subtracting 5-0 when we cross off the decimal portions.

After those subtractions, we're left with 9x = 5 which solves to x = 5/9 when you divide both sides by 9.

Use of a calculator should show that 5/9 = 0.555555.... to help confirm the answer. Your calculator may show the last digit to be a 6 instead of a 5, but this is due to rounding. Ideally you should have a string of infinitely many 5's, but the calculator can only how so many digits.

Answers

Answer:

56.3

6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

A boat traveled 19 kilometers east and 53 kilometers south, how far from its starting position is it?: √3170≈56.3 km.

A 25-foot ladder rest against a house at a point 24.1 feet above the ground. How far away from the house is the base of the ladder?: √44.19≈6.65 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

For these questions, we will need to use the pythagorean theorem: a²+b²=c², where a and b are the legs of the right triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

A boat traveled 19 kilometers east and 53 kilometers south, how far from its starting position is it?

In this question, we are looking for the hypotenuse.

19 and 53 are the legs of the triangle, so we can plug it into the equation:

19²+53²=c²

361+2809=c²

3170=c²

√3170=c

56.30275304103699, or approximately 56.3 km.

A 25-foot ladder rest against a house at a point 24.1 feet above the ground. How far away from the house is the base of the ladder?​

25 is the hypotenuse since it is leaning sideways and is the longest side. 24.1 is one of the legs.

In this question, we are looking for one of the legs.

Let's plug it in: 24.1²+b²=25²

580.81+b²=625

Subtract 580.81 from both sides.

b²=44.19

b=√44.19

6.647555941848102, or approx. 6.65 ft.
