Q. Convert the following repeating decimal to a fraction in simplest form..43Answer:
Assign x as decimal: Let x equal the repeating decimal 0.43 with 43 repeating.x=0.434343…
Multiply by 100: Multiply x by 100, since there are two digits in the repeating sequence, to shift the decimal two places to the right.100x=43.434343…
Subtract original x: Subtract the original x from the 100x to get rid of the repeating part.100x−x=43.434343...−0.434343...99x=43
Divide by 99: Divide both sides of the equation by 99 to solve for x.x=9943
Check for simplification: Check if the fraction can be simplified.The numbers 43 and 99 have no common factors other than 1, so the fraction is already in simplest form.
