Answer 1

What is the question?

Answer 2

Ok, so you have 1/9 and .2

Answer 3

And it will be easier if both numbers are either fractions or decimal numbers

Answer 4

Which would you prefer to work with?

Answer 5

I think it's B

Answer 6

Let me check quickly :)

Answer 7

1/9 = .11111....
1/11 = .090909....
.2 = .20000 ...

If you convert them all to decimal numbers

Answer 8

And so 1/11 is less than 1/9 and 2/10

Answer 9

So you would want a number that is between .1111... and .2000 ...

Answer 10

D.

Answer 11

Do you recall how to convert from fraction to decimal?

Answer 12

Ok, let's see :)

Answer 13

7/45 = .1555 ... and that would work. :D

Answer 14

If you would like, I can show you another way to quickly compare fractions?

Answer 15

0.6363... = 7/11
and then you have .7575... as well. So, what number will lie between those?

Answer 16

B? A?

Answer 17

If you divide the denominator of the fraction into the numerator you will convert the fraction to decimal form.

Answer 18

And if you divide 44 into 25, you get 0.568181...

Answer 19

Which is less than 0.6363 ... , so it won't work.

Answer 20

So B doesn't work. Let's look at A, then. What do you get if you divide 77 by 99?

Answer 21

Is it C?

Answer 22

I should have asked if you are allowed to use a calculator or if you have to do this longhand. :)

Answer 23

Yes, I believe it is C

Answer 24

Since 23/33 = 0.6969...

Answer 25

Good :D

Answer 26

@texaschic101 @anteater

Answer 27

What do you think on this one?

Answer 28

D?

Answer 29

Can I ask a question? Are you allowed to use a calculator to do the division?

Answer 30

I guess

Answer 31

I think that would help, since division by hand would be kind of tedious :)

Answer 32

Please let me know what number you get when you do the division, and then we can compare it to the answer choices they have written.

Answer 33

A?

Answer 34

When you do the division, which group of numbers forms a "repeat" ?

Answer 35

Ohhhhh B.

Answer 36

Those will be the numbers that have a bar over them in your answer, to show that those are the numbers that are being repeated. :)

Answer 37

Yes! :D

Answer 38

Thanks xD I have one more

Answer 39

Sure!

Answer 40

nice job anteater :)

Answer 41

Thanks :D

Answer 42

So, then, you can think of a fraction as a division

Answer 43

And you are dividing the numerator by the denominator

Answer 44

So again, if you use your calculator and, let's look at choice A, 75/336

Answer 45

Ohh It's C

Answer 46

I think you're right, but let me double check.

Answer 47

Yep!!!

Answer 48

OMG Thanks I passed Omg you're a Life savor Once I get back on my other account I'll fan you xDDDD

Answer 49

So are you currently studying rational numbers?

Answer 50

Thank you :)

Answer 51

No that was my last lesson on it I passed the rest

Answer 52

Just a heads up, after studying rational numbers (numbers that can be expressed as a ratio, or fraction, involving two integers), the next step is usually to look at irrational numbers.

Answer 53

My other account I'm 87 xD

Answer 54

Thanks

Answer 55

So you may be looking at irrational numbers next, numbers which can't be written as a fraction of two whole numbers.

Answer 56

You're welcome :)

Answer 57

What class are you taking?

Answer 58

I think Algebra1

Answer 59

Yes, then you may be looking at irrational numbers next, so square roots of some numbers and simplifying roots.

Answer 60

Thanks

Answer 61

If you would like, I can give you a link to a site that has good information?

Answer 62

www.intmath.com

Answer 63

If you study square roots next, then the section on exponents and radicals will be useful, I think.

Answer 64

There is also a section on numbers and properties of numbers that may be of interest to you.

Answer 65

I hope this was helpful!

Answer 66

It is thanks you very much :)

Answer 67

You are most welcome! :D

Answer 68

And now I get to go mow the lawn. :(

Answer 69

I hope you have a good afternoon! :D
