Question 3 (i) Convert the following decimal numbers in the form of ๐/๐. (i) 12.6 Now, 12.6 = 126/10 = ๐๐/๐ Question 3 (ii) Convert the following decimal numbers in the form of ๐/๐. (ii) 0.0120 Now, 0.0120 = 0120/10000 = 120/10000 = ๐๐/๐๐๐๐ = 6/500 = ๐/๐๐๐ Question 3 (iii) Convert the following decimal numbers in the form of ๐/๐. (iii) 3.0(52) ฬ Let x = 3.0525252โฆ.. Since this is a general repeating decimal, so we look at both non-repeating (after decimal points) and repeating digits Here, โ0โ is non-repeating (1 digit) โ52โ repeats (2 digit) Since one digit is non-repeating (i.e. after decimal point) Multiplying equation (1) by 101 i.e. 10 10x = 10 ร (3.05252โฆ) 10x = 30.5252โฆ Since two digits are repeating Multiplying equation (2) by 102 i.e. 100 100 ร 10x = 100 ร (30.5252โฆ) 1,000x = 3052.5252โฆ Doing (2) โ (1) 1,000x โ 10x = 3052.5252โฆ โ 30.5252โฆ Since both have same digits after decimal, we can cancel them 990x = 3052 โ 30 990x = 3022 x = 3022/990 x = ๐๐๐๐/๐๐๐ Thus, 3.0(52) ฬ = ๐๐๐๐/๐๐๐ Question 3 (iv) Convert the following decimal numbers in the form of ๐/๐. (iv) 1.2(35) ฬ Let x = 1.2353535โฆ.. Since this is a general repeating decimal, so we look at both non-repeating (after decimal points) and repeating digits Here, โ2โ is non-repeating (1 digit) โ35โ repeats (2 digit) Since one digit is non-repeating (i.e. after decimal point) Multiplying equation (1) by 101 i.e. 10 10x = 10 ร (1.23535โฆ) 10x = 12.3535โฆ Since two digits are repeating Multiplying equation (2) by 102 i.e. 100 100 ร 10x = 100 ร (12.3535โฆ) 1,000x = 1235.3535โฆ Doing (2) โ (1) 1,000x โ 10x = 1235.3535โฆ โ 12.3535โฆ Since both have same digits after decimal, we can cancel them 990x = 1235 โ 12 990x = 1223 x = ๐๐๐๐/๐๐๐ Thus, 1.2(35) ฬ = ๐๐๐๐/๐๐๐ Question 3 (v) Convert the following decimal numbers in the form of ๐/๐. (v) 0.(23) ฬ Let x = 0.232323โฆ Since two digits repeats (there is bar over 2 & 3) Multiplying equation (1) by 102 i.e. 100 100x = 100 ร (0.2323โฆ) 100x = 23.2323โฆ Doing (2) โ (1) 100x โ x = 23.2323โฆ โ 0.2323โฆ Since both have same digits after decimal, we can cancel them 99x = 23 โ 0 99x = 23 x = ๐๐/๐๐ Thus, ๐.(๐๐) ฬ = ๐๐/๐๐ Question 3 (vi) Convert the following decimal numbers in the form of ๐/๐. (vi) 2.05 ฬ Let x = 2.0555โฆ.. Since this is a general repeating decimal, so we look at both non-repeating (after decimal points) and repeating digits Here, โ0โ is non-repeating (1 digit) โ5โ repeats (1 digit) Since one digit is non-repeating (i.e. after decimal point) Multiplying equation (1) by 101 i.e. 10 10x = 10 ร (2.0555โฆ) 10x = 20.555โฆ Since one digit is repeating Multiplying equation (2) by 101 i.e. 10 10 ร 10x = 10 ร (20.555โฆ) 100x = 205.555โฆ Doing (2) โ (1) 100x โ 10x = 205.555โฆ โ 20.555โฆ Since both have same digits after decimal, we can cancel them 90x = 205 โ 20 90x = 185 x = 185/90 x = ๐๐/๐๐ Thus, 2.05 ฬ = ๐๐/๐๐ Question 3 (vii) Convert the following decimal numbers in the form of ๐/๐. (vii) 2.125 ฬ Let x = 2.12555โฆ.. Since this is a general repeating decimal, so we look at both non-repeating (after decimal points) and repeating digits Here, โ12โ is non-repeating (2 digits) โ5โ repeats (1 digit) Since two digits are non-repeating (i.e. after decimal point) Multiplying equation (1) by 102 i.e. 100 100x = 100 ร (2.12555โฆ) 100x = 212.555โฆ Since one digit is repeating Multiplying equation (2) by 101 i.e. 10 10 ร 100x = 10 ร (212.555โฆ) 1,000x = 2125.555โฆ Doing (2) โ (1) 1,000x โ 100x = 2125.555โฆ โ 212.555โฆ Since both have same digits after decimal, we can cancel them 900x = 2125 โ 212 900x = 1913 x = ๐๐๐๐/๐๐๐ Thus, 2.125 ฬ = ๐๐๐๐/๐๐๐ Question 3 (viii) Convert the following decimal numbers in the form of ๐/๐. (viii) 3.125 ฬ Let x = 3.12555โฆ.. Since this is a general repeating decimal, so we look at both non-repeating (after decimal points) and repeating digits Here, โ12โ is non-repeating (2 digits) โ5โ repeats (1 digit) Since two digits are non-repeating (i.e. after decimal point) Multiplying equation (1) by 102 i.e. 100 100x = 100 ร (3.12555โฆ) 100x = 312.555โฆ Since one digit is repeating Multiplying equation (2) by 101 i.e. 10 10 ร 100x = 10 ร (312.555โฆ) 1,000x = 3125.555โฆ Doing (2) โ (1) 1,000x โ 100x = 3125.555โฆ โ 312.555โฆ Since both have same digits after decimal, we can cancel them 900x = 3125 โ 312 900x = 2813 x = ๐๐๐๐/๐๐๐ Thus, 3.125 ฬ = ๐๐๐๐/๐๐๐ Question 3 (ix) Convert the following decimal numbers in the form of ๐/๐.
