Question
Express the following decimals in the form $\frac{\text{p}}{\text{q}}:$
$0.\overline{37}$
$0.\overline{37}$
✓
Answer
Let
$\text{x}=0.\overline{37}$
Now,
$\text{x}=0.3737\ ...(\text{i})$
Multiplying equation (i) by 10.
$\therefore \ 10\text{x}=3.737\ ...(\text{ii}) $
Multiplying equation (ii) by 10.
$100\text{x}=37.3737\ ...(\text{iii}) $
Subtracting equation (i) by (iii)
$\therefore\ 100\text{x}-\text{x}=37$
$\Rightarrow99\text{x}=37$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{37}{99}$
Hence, $0.\overline{37}=\frac{37}{99}$
$\text{x}=0.\overline{37}$
Now,
$\text{x}=0.3737\ ...(\text{i})$
Multiplying equation (i) by 10.
$\therefore \ 10\text{x}=3.737\ ...(\text{ii}) $
Multiplying equation (ii) by 10.
$100\text{x}=37.3737\ ...(\text{iii}) $
Subtracting equation (i) by (iii)
$\therefore\ 100\text{x}-\text{x}=37$
$\Rightarrow99\text{x}=37$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{37}{99}$
Hence, $0.\overline{37}=\frac{37}{99}$
