Question

: Write p/q form of X
x=2.36
​

Answer 1

Answer:

we have x=2.36

          we can write it as x=2+0.36

                                        x=2+36/100

                                        100x=236

                                            x=236/100

this is also a p/q form.

I HOPE THIS MIGHT HELP.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

59/25

Step-by-step explanation:

2.36 is represented in decimal form. p/q requires fractional form. So, we would have to convert this decimal form into fractional form:-

2.36

=236/10 (removing decimal) (remember that to remove decimal, we have to add the same number of zeros after 1 as the place of the decimal point from the right hand side. Here, there were two places after the decimal point (3 and 6), so we added 2 zeroes after 1 in the denominator. Thus, 236/100)

Now, we can convert 236/100 in its simplest form:-

236/100 = 59/25.

Thank you.
