Find the rational number whose decimal form is `1.bar(345)`. |
|
Answer» We have `1.bar(345)=1.3454545...oo` `=1.3+0.045+0.00045+...oo` `=1.3+{45/10^(3)+45/10^(5)+...oo}` `=1.3+((45/10^(3)))/((1-1/10^(2)))" "[("this being a GS in which"),(a=45/10^(3) and r=1/10^(2) lt 1)]` `=1.3+45/1000xx100/99=13/10+45/990=(13/10+1/22)` `=(143+5)/110=148/110=74/55`. Hence, `1.bar(345)=74/55`. |
