(B) 558/495
(C) 1126/999
(D) none of these

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 27 is repeating therefore we can also write it as 1.127 with a bar on 27 so therefore writing in rational no it will be written as 1127/1000

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = 1.12727.................1

100x = 112.72727...........2

2 - 1

100 x - x = 112.72727.... - 1.12727.....

99x = 111.6

x = 111.6 / 99

x = 1116 / 990

option D [none of the above]
