Question

The rational form of 0.254 is in the form of p/q



then (p + q ) = ____.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

0.254=254/1000

=127/500

Therefore p/q=127/500

p=127 q=500

(p+q)=(127+500)

=627

Therefore (p+q)= 627

Answer 2

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
