Answer 1

Given:

Andrews Labrador retrievers weight 75 7/9 lb.

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

So,

`75(7)/(9)=75+(7)/(9)`

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

`(7)/(9)=0.77777777\ldots=0.\bar{7}`

This means the digit 7 will be repeated to infinity

So, the answer will be:

`75(7)/(9)=75.\bar{7}\approx75.78`
