Answer 2

Answer:

Part (a) = 47/100, Part (b) = -47/100, Part (c) = 47/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Determine 0.47 as a fraction

0.47 can also be expressed as 47% which means that there is 47/100.  We can see that there is no way that we can simplify the fraction even more so that is our final answer.

Step 2:  Determine -0.47 as a fraction

0.47 can also be expressed as -47/100.  We can see that there is no way that we can simplify the fraction even more so that is our final answer.

Step 3:  Determine --0.47 as a fraction

Two negatives (-), means that they cancel out and cause a positive (+).  For example, -1 * -1 gives us 1.  Therefore it would just be like the first one which is 47/100.

Answer: Part (a) = 47/100, Part (b) = -47/100, Part (c) = 47/100
