Answer 2

Given:

A decimal number 0.176

To find:

The p/q form of a given decimal number.

Solution:

As we know that a number is said to be a rational number if it can be written in the form of p/q. Here, p is called the numerator while q is called the denominator.

Now,

we have,

a number 0.176

As there is no bar on the number, so, it is a terminating number.

Now,

We can see that decimal is placed three places before the number, so, in the denominator, we will add three zeroes after 1.

or the denominator will be

${10}^{3}$

So,

the p/q form of 0.176 is

$= \frac{176}{1000}$

Hence, the p/q form of 0.176 is 176/1000.
