Answer 2

Solution :-

Expressing the above fraction ; 0.38(bar) + 1.27(bar) in fractional or p/q form -

Let 0.38(bar) be 'X'

Now ,

➨ X = 0.38(bar) ..........(i)

Multiplying (i) by 100 , we get -

➨ 100X = 38.38(bar)..........(ii)

Then , Subtracting (i) from (ii) , we get -

➨ 100X - X = 38.38(bar) - 0.38(bar)

➨ 99X = 38.00

➨ X = 38/99

Again , let 1.27(bar) be "Y"

Now ,

➨ Y = 1.27(bar) ............(i)

Multiplying (i) by 100 , we get -

➨ 100Y = 127.27(bar) ..........(ii)

Then , Subtracting (i) from (ii) , we get -

➨ 100Y - Y = 127.27(bar) - 1.27(bar)

➨ 99Y = 126

➨ Y = 126/9

Finally , by adding (X and Y ) , we get :-

➨ X + Y = Output

➨ 38/99 + 126/99

➨ 38+126/99

➨ 164/99

Hence ,

The answer is 164/99.
