what is x?

9 answers

There is not enough information given to determine the value of x. We would need to know the value of the rational number.
To convert 0.82¯¯¯¯¯ to a rational number, you would set x equal to 0.82¯¯¯¯¯ and then multiply both sides of the equation by what number?
To convert 0.82¯¯¯¯¯ (repeating decimal) to a rational number, you would set x equal to 0.82¯¯¯¯¯ and then multiply both sides of the equation by 1000, since there are 3 repeating digits after the decimal point. This eliminates the repeating part and allows you to solve for x as a rational number.
what the answer yo that?
When you multiply both sides of the equation 0.82¯¯¯¯¯ * 1000 = x * 1000, you would get:

820.82¯¯¯¯¯ = 1000x

Simplifying the equation:

820 + 0.82¯¯¯¯¯ = 1000x

820 + (0.82 * 0.999999...) = 1000x

820 + (0.81999999...) = 1000x

820 + 0.82 = 1000x

820.82 = 1000x

Dividing both sides by 1000:

820.82 / 1000 = x

x ≈ 0.82082

So, the rational number equivalent of 0.82¯¯¯¯¯ is approximately 0.82082.
Can you you that in fractions?
Certainly! To convert 0.82¯¯¯¯¯ to a fraction, you would set x equal to 0.82¯¯¯¯¯ and then multiply both sides of the equation by 100, since there are 2 repeating digits after the decimal point. This eliminates the repeating part and allows you to solve for x as a fraction.

0.82¯¯¯¯¯ * 100 = x * 100

82.82¯¯¯¯¯ = 100x

Simplifying the equation:

82 + 0.82¯¯¯¯¯ = 100x

82 + (0.82 * 0.99¯¯¯¯¯) = 100x

82 + (0.81818181...) = 100x

To express 0.81818181... as a fraction, let's call it y:

y = 0.81818181...

Now, we can multiply y by 100 to eliminate the repeating part:

100y = 81.81818181...

Subtracting the original equation from the above equation:

100y - y = 81.81818181... - 0.81818181...

99y = 81

Dividing both sides by 99:

y = 81/99 = 9/11

Substituting y back into the equation:

82 + (9/11) = 100x

82 + (9/11) = 100x

Multiplying both sides by 11:

902 + 9 = 1100x

911 = 1100x

Now, we can express 911/1100 as the rational number equivalent of 0.82¯¯¯¯¯.
How do you show the group of digits that repeat in a repeating decimal?(1 point)
To show the group of digits that repeat in a repeating decimal, the repeating digits are typically written with a horizontal line or a bar over them. For example, if the decimal 0.828282... repeats the sequence "82", it can be written as 0.82¯¯¯¯¯.
