Q1 of 16 Page 5

Find the sum of .

Let’s suppose


We can also divide into two part first one is and second one is


So x = A + B


A = 0.33333……(1)


The repetition start after one digit so we multiplied by 10 in equation (1)


10A = 3.3333……(2)


Subtract the equation (1) from the equation (2)


10A – A = 3.33333….. – 0.3333……


9A = 3


……(3)


B = 0.4444….(4)


The repetition start after one digit so we multiplied by 10 in


equation (4)


10B = 4.44444…..(5)


Subtract the equation (4) from the equation (5)


10B – B = 4.444…. - 0.444….


9B = 4


……(6)


x = A + B
