Question

Simplify: Express 15.71212121212………. in p/q form where p, q are integers and q≠0.

Answer 1

Answer:

100x-x=1571.212(bar on 12)-15.712(bar on 12).

99x=1501.5

x=1501.5/99

So now we have found the p/q form of 15.712(bar on 12) but still p is not an integer where as q is an integer which is not equal to 0.

So we should multiply 1501.5/99*10/10 to make it in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0.

So 15.712(bar on 12) in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0 is 15015/990.

This can further be simplified to 5005/330 = 1001/66.

Therefore the final answer is 15.712(bar on 12) = 1001/66.
