Any decimal that repeats some pattern of digits forever can be converted into a fraction. The digits that repeat
are the numerator of the fraction, and the denominator
contains the same number of 9s as there are digits that
repeat.
Can you explain why this pattern occur?

Get 40 cups.u would say since the bowl and cups must be equal it would be 40

Okay so n is going to represent our first number. since the second number of five times greater than n, the second number will be represented as 5n. for us to figure out the two  numbers we need to have  the value of n first. this is going to be done by adding the two numbers together, n and 5n. it can be simplified as 6n, which the problem states is equal to 72. divide 72 by 6n and you can solve for n.  n+5n=726n=72n=(72/6)n=12  now that we know the value of n, we have to multiply 5 times 12 which equals 60. so our two numbers/integers are 12 and 60
