Answer:
The answer is: " 8 [tex] \frac{4}{15} [/tex] " ._____________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________________
Given: "8.266666667 " ; write in "simplest form" ;
_____________________________________________
Let us assume that the number is meant to be:
"8.2666666.. " (with repeating "6's) .
Consider the: "0.26666666666...." ;
Let "x = 0.26666666666...." ;
_____________________________________________100x = 26.666666666666666666................... ;10x = 2.666666666666666666....................... ; _____________________________________________Note: " 100x – 10x = 90x " ; _____________________________________________ 100x = 26.666666666666666666................... – 10x = 2.666666666666666666....................... _____________________________________________ 90x = 24.00000000000000000.........................______________________________________________ → 90x = 24 ; Divide each side of the equation by "90" ; → 90x / 90 = 24/90 ; to get:→ x = 24/90 ; → x = 24/90 = (24÷6) / (90÷6) = 4/15 ;
Add the "whole number, " 8 "; to this value; to get:→ " 8 [tex] \frac{4}{15} [/tex] " .
