OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks. :)

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

ok so you can start like this 100x = 42.4242...... this is repetitive. x = 0.4242.... thats when you move the decimal over

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

next step

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

your subtracting the top which will be 99 since, 100x is now 99 because x always equals 1 so 100 - 1 = 99 and then the bottom which is 42 from moving the decimal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So is the answer C?

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

so its 99 x = 42

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

wow your fast learner

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):
