Question

express 1.42 recurring in form of p/q where p and q are integers and q is not 0

Answer 1

1.42= 142/100= 71/50 divided by 2

Answer 2

hey mate! here's your answer!

since, let x = 1.42424242.........

so, 100x = 142.424242.....

then, 100x - x = 142.42 - 1.42

=> 99x = 141

=> x = 141/99 or 37/33

so,
1.42424242.... in p/q form = 141/99 or 37/33 .....Ans.
