Question

How do you write the repeating decimal 0.73 where 73 is repeated as a fraction?

Answer 1

`73/99`

Explanation:

`N= 0.737373...` ( equation 1)

Multiply both sides by 100 because 2 digits recur

`100N=73.737373..`( equation 2)

If we subtract equation 1 from equation 2 we get

`99N= 73`

So N =`(73)/(99)`
