Question

Express 4.3378 in p/q form where 78 are bar

Answer 1

Hi ,

Let x = 4.337878...---( 1 )

Multiply equation ( 1 ) with 100 , we

get

100x = 433.7878....( 2 )

Multiply equation ( 2 ) with 100 , we

get ,

10000x = 43378.7878....----( 3 )

Subtract equation ( 2 ) from ( 2 ) , we

get ,

9900x = 46945

x = 46945/9900

Therefore ,

x = 4.337878... = 46945/9900

I hope this helps you.
