Question

Express the following decimal number in p/q form 3.23333....

Answer 1

Answer:

291/90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x=3.23333...

10x=32.333

100x=323.333...

100x-10x=323.333-32.333

90x=291

x=291/90

Answer 2

X=3.23333........(repeat of 3)

10x=32.333.....(1)

100x=323.333.....(2)

On subtracting (1)from (2) we have ,

90x=291

X=291/90

X=97/30

Hence,p/q=97/30
