Question

Show that 0.53232….. can be expressed in the form p/q , where p and q are integers and q ≠0

Answer 1

Answer: 527/990

Step-by-step explanation:

let p(x) be 0.53232

10x = 5.3232   ---(1)

1000x = 532.3232  ---(2)

Now, Subtracting:- (2)-(1)

1000x-10x = 527

990x = 527

therefore, x = 527/990
