A manufacturer determines that the cost of making a computer component is ​$3.252525. Write the repeating decimal cost as a fraction and as a mixed number. The cost written as a fraction is...

Respuesta :

Answer:

$3 25/99

Step-by-step explanation:

100 * 0.252525  = 25.2525..

1   * 0.252525.   = 00.252525..

Subtract

99 * 0.252525..  =  25


The repeating decimal cost as a fraction and as a mixed number is [tex]3\dfrac{130101}{40000}[/tex]  

What is the fraction?

A fraction is defined as a numerical representation of a part of a whole that represents a rational number.

What are Arithmetic operations?

Arithmetic operations can also be specified by the  addition, subtract, divide, and multiplying built-in functions.

Given number as

⇒ 3.252525

Rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator

⇒  [tex]\dfrac{3.252525}{1}[/tex]

Multiply to remove 6 decimal places. Here, you multiply top and bottom by 10⁶ = 1000000

⇒  [tex]\dfrac{3.252525}{1} \times \dfrac{1000000}{1000000} = \dfrac{3252525}{1000000}[/tex]

Determine the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 3252525 and 1000000, if it exists, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 25,

⇒ 3252525÷ 25

⇒ 1000000 ÷ 25

⇒  [tex]\dfrac{130101}{40000}[/tex]

Simplify the improper fraction,

⇒    [tex]3\dfrac{130101}{40000}[/tex]

Hence, the repeating decimal cost as a fraction and as a mixed number is    [tex]3\dfrac{130101}{40000}[/tex]
