Problem:

Let x= (0.6)(0.60). When x is written out as a decimal, what is the sum of the first 15 digits after the decimal point?LISTEN TO THIS PART:  (The 6 in 0.6 has a repeating sign on that ONE digit) (The 60 in 0.60 has a repeating sign over BOTH digits)!!! THANKS!

Answer:


Explanation

(2/3) (60/99) = (2/99)(60/3) = (2/99)(20) = 40/99 = .040404......... So.......the sum of the first 15 digits = 7(4) + 7(0) + 0 = 28.
