Q. Convert the following repeating decimal to a fraction in simplest form.94Answer:
Assign Variable x: Let x equal the repeating decimal 0.949494…x=0.949494…
Multiply by Power of 10: To convert the repeating decimal to a fraction, multiply x by a power of 10 that matches the length of the repeating pattern. Since the repeating pattern is two digits (94), we multiply by 100.100x=94.949494…
Subtract Equations: Subtract the original equation x=0.949494... from the new equation 100x=94.949494... to get rid of the repeating decimal.100x−x=94.949494...−0.949494...99x=94
Divide by 99: Divide both sides of the equation by 99 to solve for x.x=9994
Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction by looking for the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 94 and 99. The GCD of 94 and 99 is 1, so the fraction is already in simplest form.x=9994
