Express 0.35 (bar in 35) in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0.
Answers
Answer:
let. y=0.3535...
multiply by 100
100y=35.353535..
100y=35 + 0.353535
100y=35 + y
99y= 35
y= 35/99
hence p/q form is 35/99

Given:
A number 0.35 bar.
To find:
The p/q form of 0.35 bar.
Solution:
A number is called a rational number if it can be expressed in the form of p/q.
This means,
we need to convert the 0.35 bar or 0.353535... into a rational number.
So,
Let x = 0.353535... (i)
as two digits are being repeated after a decimal point, so, we multiply (i) by 100
So, we get
100x = 100 × (0.353535...)
100x = 35.3535... (ii)
On subtracting (ii) from (i), we get
100x - x = 35.3535... - 0.353535...
99x = 35.0000...
(as after decimal point all the numbers are same and hence, they are subtracted out)
x = 35/99
Also, from (i)
x = 0.353535...
Hence, 0.35 bar is expressed in the p/q form as 35/99.
