Question

the ratioal from of 0.254bar is in the form of p/q , then p+q is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let’s

x=0.254…..(bar 54) ---------(1)

Multiplying both side by 10

10x=2.54….(bar 54)---------(2)

from equation (1)Multiplying both side by 1000

1000x=254.54........(bar 54)-----------(3)

now Subtract equation (3) and (2)

1000x-10x=254.54.....- 2.54.....

990x=252

X=252/990

X=14/55

convert in to the p/q form

then p/q=14/55

p+q=14+55

p+q=69

this is the answer.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = 0.254 (bar on 45) ...... (1)

multiply by 100 in both equations.

100x =25.45454........ (2)

subtract equation (1) from equation (2)

99x=25.2

x = 2520/990

x = 14/55

on comparing with p/q, we get

p= 14 and q = 55

p+q = 14+55=69
