Write the following numbers in \(\frac p{q}\) form. i. 0.555 ii. \(29.\overline{568}\) |
|
Answer» i. 0.555= \(\frac{0.555\times1000}{1\times1000}\) =\(\frac{555}{1000}\) = \(\frac{5\times111}{5\times200}\) = \(\frac{111}{200}\) ii. Let x = \(29.\overline{568}\)…(i) x = 29.568568… Since, three numbers i.e. 5, 6 and 8 are repeating after the decimal point. Thus, multiplying both sides by 1000, 1000x = \(29568.\overline{568}\)…(ii) Subtracting (i) from (ii), 1000x – x =\(29568.\overline{568}\) - \(29.\overline{568}\) ∴ 999x = 29539 ∴ \(x=\frac{29539}{999}\) ∴ \(29.\overline{568}\) \(\frac{29539}{999}\) |
