Express \(0.\bar4\) as a rational number simplest form.

Answer»

Let x be \(0.\bar4\) 

x = \(0.\bar4\)......(1)

Multiplying both sides by 10, we get 

10x = \(4.\bar4\).......(2)

Subtracting (1) from (2), we get

10x – x = \(4.\bar4\) = \(0.\bar4\)

⇒ 9x = 4

⇒ x = \(\frac{4}9\)

Thus, simplest form of \(0.\bar4\) as a rational number is \(\frac{4}9\).
