Question

A MANUFACTURER DETERMINES THAT THE COST OF MAKING A COMPUTER COMPONENT IS $4.141414. I NEED IT IN A FRACTION AS A MIXED NUMBER PLEASE ASAP!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

$4 \frac{14}{99}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First off - chill with the caps dude.

Let's convert this to a mixed number.

We know that any one digit number divided by 9 will get us a repeating decimal of the number we divided by 9. For example, $5 \div 9$ will be $0.\overline{55}$.

The same goes for two digit numbers when they are over 99. $32\div 99 = 0.\overline{32}$

So this means that to make $0.\overline{14}$ a fraction, we put 14 over 99.

$\frac{14}{99}$

4 as a fraction is just $\frac{4}{1}$ but since they want it in a mixed number, we can just put a 4 in the beginning of the fraction.

So we get  $4 \frac{14}{99}$.

Hope this helped!
