Q2 of 51 Page 32

Express each of the following decimals in the rational form .

let x =

X = 0.575757….. -(i)


Here the periodicity of the decimal is two


So, we multiply both sides of (i) by 100 and we get


100x = 57.575757…-(ii)


Subtract (i) from (ii)


100x = 57.5757….


X = 0.5757…


99x = 57.0



(divide by 99 on both sides)



Hence =
