Respuesta :

Given:

Andrews Labrador retrievers weight 75 7/9 lb.

We will convert the mixed number 75 7/9 to a decimal number

So,

[tex]75\frac{7}{9}=75+\frac{7}{9}[/tex]

the fraction 7/9 and using the long division will be:

[tex]\frac{7}{9}=0.77777777\ldots=0.\bar{7}[/tex]

This means the digit 7 will be repeated to infinity

So, the answer will be:

[tex]75\frac{7}{9}=75.\bar{7}\approx75.78[/tex]
