Express the following in the form p/q, where p and q are integers and

(i) (ii)


(iii)

(i) 0.͞6 = 0.666…

Let x = 0.666666…


Multiplying both sides by 10


10x = 6.666


10x = 6 + x


9x = 6


x = 2/3


(ii) 0.47͞ = 0.4777…


= 4/10 + 0.777/10


Let x = 0.777…


Multiplying both sides by 10


10x = 7.777…


10x = 7 + x


x = 7/9


+ = +



= 43/90


(iii) 0.0͞0͞1 = 0.001001…


Let x = 0.001001…


Multiplying both sides by 1000


1000x = 1.001001…


1000x = 1 + x


999x = 1


x = 1/999
