Question

Express in the form of p/q 0.83583

Answer 1

X3.777... = 3.7 (bar)

Let x = 3.7(bar on 7)

As there is only one number under bar, multiply by 10 onn both sides,

10*x =10*3.7(bar)

10x=37.7 (bar)

-x = -3.7 (bar) [subtract x from both sides]

9x = 34 [bar will cancel]

x=34/9

Now,

3.777... In p/q form is 34/9
