Represent 0.627 (27 in bar)in p/q form
Answers
Answer:
0.627(27 in bar) written in the form of p/q
Step-by-step explanation:
so,
x=0.627272727.......- eq 1.
multiply both side by hundred between bar is over two digits
x*100= 0.6272727....*100
100x= 62.7272727.....- eq 2.
Subtract eq 1 from eq 2
So,
100x-x= 62.7272727. . . . .- 0.627272727.....
99x= 62.1
x= 62.1/99
x=621/990 (by removing decimal)
Hence 621/990 is the answer

Concept
A repeating decimal is one in which a single or a group of digits gets repeated infinite number of times. The repeating digits are represented by putting a bar above them.
Given
0.627 (27 in bar)
Find
we need to represent the given number in p/q form
Solution
We have
0.627 (27 in bar)
Let x = 0.627 (27 in bar)
multiplying both sides by 1000
1000x = 627.27bar
and multiplying both sides by 10,
10x = 6.27bar
Subtracting 10x from 1000x, we get
1000x - 10x = 627.27bar - 6.27bar
990x = 621
x = 621/990
or x = 69/110
Thus, 0.627 can be represented as 69/110 in p/q form.
