Question

show that 2.37 can be expressed in the form p/q , where p and q are integer and q is not equal to 0​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2.37 can be written as 237/100

LET,

p = 237

q = 100

hence,

It can be expressed as 237/100 and it is not = 0

Answer 2

Given:

A decimal number 2.37

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.

Also,

if a fraction has a denominator in the form of 10 raised to the power 'n' then the fraction can be written in the decimal form in which decimal is placed before the 'n' number of places of the numerator starting from the right-hand side.

So,

as given, we have 2.37 which is a decimal number.

This can be written as

$\frac{237}{100}$

which is in the p/q form where p and q are integer and q is not equal to 0.

So,

2.37 in p/q form is 237/100.
