Question

show that 0.3333 is equal to 0.3 can be express in form of p/q

Answer 1

Answer:

1/3 is the rational number

Step-by-step explanation:

let x=0.3 -first equation

10 ×x=0.3333×10

10x=3.33333 -second equation

subtract first equation from second one.

10x=3.3333

-x=0.3333

9x=3.0000

x=3/9

x=1/3

Answer 2

Answer

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

since we do not know what 0.3 is, Let us call it 'x' and so x=0.3333

Now here is where the trick comes in.

Now, 10x=10×(0.333)=3.333

Therefore , 3.3333=3+,since x=0.3333

10x=3+x

solving for x, we get 9x=3 i.e, x=1/3
