write the following rational number in decimal form
Answers
Question:
Write the following Rationals in decimal form using Theorem 1.4.
(i) 13/25
(ii) 15/16
(iii) 23/ 2³
(iv) 7218/3²5²
(v) 143/110
Step-by-step explanation:
Theorem 1.4: Let x = p/q be a rational number, such that the Prime factorisation of 'q' is of the form x , where 'n' and 'm' are Non - Negative Integers. Then '' has a decimal expansion which terminates.
(i) 13/25 = 13/5²
= 13/5² = 13 x 2²/2² x 5²
= 13 x 4/(2 x 5)² = 52/(10)^2
= 0.52
(ii) 15/16 = 15/2 x 2 x 2 x 2
= 15/ 2^4
= 15 x 5^4 / 2^4 x 5^4
= 15 x 625/ (2 x 5 )^4
= 9375/ 10^4
= 0.9375
(iii) 23/ 2³
= 23 x 5/2³
= 115/(2 x 5)³
= 115/10³ = 0.115
(iv) 7218/3²5²
= 802/5²
= 802 x 2²/2² x 5²
= 3208/(2 x 5)² = 3208/10²
= 0.3208
(v) 143/110
= 143/2 x 5 x 11
= 13/2 x 5 = 13/10
= 1.3
