convert each of the following repeating decimals to a/b form, where a and b are integers and b is not 0
2.34 and 0.03
To convert repeating decimals to fractions in the form of a/b, we need to follow a particular approach. Let's start with each of the decimals you provided.
1. 2.34:
We can see that this decimal is not repeating, so it can be expressed as a fraction without any further calculation. We can observe that the decimal point is after the last digit, which means it represents a whole number. Thus, we can write 2.34 as the fraction 234/100.
2. 0.03:
This decimal is not repeating either, and the decimal point is placed after the last digit, indicating a whole number once again. Hence, we can express 0.03 as the fraction 3/100.
Remember, if a decimal is not repeating, you can directly write it as a fraction by placing the decimal places' digits over the appropriate power of 10.
I have to know which decimal part repeats,
is it
2.3444444.. or 2.343434... ?
is it
.03333... or is it .0303030...?
