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

`4 (14)/(99)`

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 / 9` will be
`0.\overline{55}`.

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

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

`(14)/(99)`

4 as a fraction is just
`(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 (14)/(99)`.

Hope this helped!
