Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution :

Let x = 0.15999...----( 1)

Multiply ( 1 ) by 100 , we get

=> 100x = 15.999....----( 2 )

multiply ( 2 ) by 10 , we get

=> 1000x = 159.999...--( 3 )

Subtract (2) from ( 3 ) , we

get

900x = 144

=> x = 144/900

=> x = 16/100

=> x = 4/25

Therefore ,

x = 0.15999... = 4/25
