Step-by-step explanation:

Convert a Repeating Decimal to a Fraction

We need to convert the following decimal to a fraction:

Let's call x to the given number:

The number has two repeating (periodic) decimals, thus we multiply by 100:

Note the decimals continue to repeat exactly like the original number.

Subtracting both expressións, the repeating decimals are simplified:

Operating:

99x=-37

Dividing by 99:

The fraction cannot be simplified, thus:

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.
