Juan sells banana bread by weight. He cuts a 1-lb loaf of banana bread into 6 equal slices. He wants to complete the table showing the total weight for the various numbers of slices. What decimals will he write in the table?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.1[tex]\frac{}{6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

When Juan cut a 1 lb loaf of banana bread into 6 slices, the weight of each slice forms a repeating decimal. A repeating decimal is a decimal number with repeating digit/s.

i.e [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] = 0.166666666666666...

To express the total weight for each slice, he should write a bar over 6 to show that the number repeats.

i.e [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] = 0.1[tex]\frac{}{6}[/tex]

Note that [tex]\frac{}{6}[/tex] has expressed that the division has 6 as the repeating digit in the decimal number.
