Find a number that is between 8/11 and 0.85 (Line above 85) A. 23/33 B. 39/66 C. 157/198 D. 88/99

Parth (parthkohli):

first things first: it is known as 0.85 bar.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Do the same as last time, convert to decimals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh thanks @ParthKohli

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A = 0.6969697

OpenStudy (igreen):

Convert 8/11 first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh. 0.72727273

Parth (parthkohli):

i'd rather convert the decimals to fractions. 0.858585... = 85/99

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, so we're looking for a number between \(0. \overline{72}\) and \(0. \overline{85}\)

OpenStudy (igreen):

Find the decimal forms of the rest of the Options.

Parth (parthkohli):

oh, i guess that's an option too, but i'd rather convert one decimal to fraction than converting five fractions to decimals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A = 0.6969697 B = 0.59090909 C = 0.79292929 D = 0..88888889

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yeah, then we'd have to convert to fractions with like denominators..

OpenStudy (igreen):

Okay, which one is between \(0. \overline{72}\) and \(0. \overline{85}\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

OpenStudy (igreen):

Correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks.

Parth (parthkohli):

8/11 and 85/99 72/99 and 85/99 the middleman is 157/198 wow that was soooo hard
