Rewrite 9.524 as a mixed number in lowest terms

  9 132

                    250

9.524 = 9 + 0.524 = 9 + 524       =  9 524 =    9 524:2 = 9 262 =   9 134

                                        1000             1000        1000:2     500          250

ryan had a head start of 10 meters.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
