It will be 85 million cents

1 million has 6 zeros

85,000,000 cents

put the decimal point in to change it to dollars - just take away 2 of the zeros.

$850000.00 = $850,000

All fractions can be written as terminating or recurring decimals.

Any number that can be written as a fraction,  $$\frac{p}{q}$$  , is a rational number.

$$\pi$$ is an IRRATIONAL NUMBER.  This means it cannot be written exactly as a fraction or as a terminating or as a recurring decimal.  The numbers just keep going forever and they never form a pattern!

Thank you Bertie

$$\frac{6y^2-60y+126}{y^2-6y-7}\\\\
\frac{6(y^2-10y+21)}{(y-7)(y+1)}\\\\
\frac{6(y-3)(y-7)}{(y-7)(y+1)}\\\\
\frac{6(y-3)}{y+1}\\\\$$

consider this

$$\frac{5}{5}=1\\\\
\frac{5^3}{5^3}=1\\\\
\mbox{but}\\\\
\frac{5^3}{5^3}=5^{3-3} = 5^0\\\\
\mbox{ therefore}\\\\
5^0=1$$

\displaystyle \begin{array}{lr} \text{ lim }\\ h \rightarrow 0 \\  \end{array} \frac{3x+h}{x+h}.

That produces

$$\displaystyle \begin{array}{lr} \text{ lim }\\ h \rightarrow 0 \\ \end{array} \frac{3x+h}{x+h}$$

Thanks Bertie,

What is the {lr} for?

I wrote a  post today that mentioned seagulls, just as well it wasn't one of those giving your car grief!

Hi everyone,

There were lots of great answers today from Gman2598, Alan, CPhill, Bertie, Kitty<3, novice, unknown and a number of anonymous people. Thank you very much.

I think all member questions and most anonymous questions have been answered.  I have checked as many of those answers as possible and given a tick to almost all of them.  I am starting to burn out.

There are just too many questions and there is too little time to just 'enjoy' the forum.  I am not actually trying to answer any questions but I do want everyone else to get credit for what they do.  I know some of you are looking at other's answers and some are giving thumbs up which is great.  Maybe you could actually put a short post saying that you have checked it and it is alright - then I won't feel like I have to check and I won't feel guilty about giving a tick when I have not personally checked.  This is just a thought.

Does anyone have any other ideas.

I have not responded to a number of messages.  I appologise for this. It is partly because the message system is still not very good and partly because I am just to busy with the immediate needs of the forum.

Enjoy the rest of your Friday.

Melody.

It is just 6 Rs out of 100 total = 6/100

this is not a difficult question.

Where is Rom and Bertie when you need them?

That is really cool,

Thanks Bertie. 

SO now I am a bit confused.

Does (-1)^(4/3) have lots of answers ?

1 and $$\frac{-1-i\sqrt3}{2}$$  are just 2 of them?
