express 1.729 in p/q form​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.729 = 1729/1000

Answer 2

$1.7\overline{29}$ in p/q form is   856/495

Given:

• $1.7\overline{29}$
• 1.729  ( bar on 29)

To Find:

• Express in p/q from

Solution:

Step 1:

Assume that  N = $1.7\overline{29}$

Step 2:

Multiply N by 10 and 1000 and create 2 Equations

10N = $17.\overline{29}$                Eq1

1000N = $1729.\overline{29}$        Eq2

Step 3:

Subtract Eq1 from Eq2 and simplify

990N = 1712

N = 1712/990

N = 856/495

Hence $1.7\overline{29}$ in p/q form is   856/495
