Mario claims that if the dinominator of a fraction is a prime number, then its decimal form is a repeting decimal. Do you agree? Use an example to explain

I do not agree because Mario's claim is not general.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prime numbers: These are a set of numbers that are divisible by 1 and itself only. Examples are: 2, 3, 5, 7. 11 etc.

And a  denominator is the divisor in a given fraction.

Considering the following fractions whose denominators are prime numbers:

= 0.66666666...

= 0.142857142

= 0.45454545...

= 0.23076923

= 0.142857142

It could be observed that Mario's claim is not a general principle which is applicable to all fractions with a prime denominator. Thus, I do not agree with his claim.

hope this !

step-by-step explanation:

d = distance between moon and sun, which in this problem is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  

the distance y is the side opposite to angle x in the right triangle.   use the definition of the sine function from basic trigonometry.

sin(x) = y/d ⇒

d = y/sin(x)

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
