Answer:
$4.161616 =
As a fraction
= $[(4 × 62500) + 10101]/62500
= $(260101/62500)
As a mixed number =
$[tex]4\frac{10101}{62500}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of making a computer component = $4.161616
= $4 + $0.161616
6 numbers after the decimal , hence
0.161616 × 1000000/1000000
= 161616/1000000
= 10101/62500
We are told in the question to write the repetiting decimal cost as a fraction and as a mixed number
$4 + $0.161616 = $4 + 10101/62500
As a fraction
= $[(4 × 62500) + 10101]/62500
=$260101/62500
As a mixed number = [tex]$4\frac{10101}{62500}[/tex]
