Express the following in the form p over q where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.

0. top enclose 47



Solution

Let x = 0. top enclose 47 = 0.47777 ......
Multiplying both sides by 10 (since one digit is repeating), we get
              10x = 4.7777 ......
rightwards double arrow          10x = 4.3 + 0.47777 .......
rightwards double arrow          10x = 4.3 + x
rightwards double arrow   10x - x = 4.3
rightwards double arrow        9x = 4.3
rightwards double arrow space space space space straight x space equals space fraction numerator 4.3 over denominator 9 end fraction equals 43 over 90
Thus comma space space space space 0. top enclose 47 equals 43 over 90
Here,    p = 43
            q = 90 (not equal to 0)
